Dear Diane, I love your trow story, it made me so relaxed. I love the names of the trows too! You did an awesome job it's so detailed and clear it's 100% the best and I really hope you make more because they're great! Good job. PS Please make more because I absolutely love it!

Sophie (10) loves this story and has already listened several times. She’s been eager to get to bed (instead of the usual delaying tactics) so she can hear it again and now she’s falling asleep very easily! What a difference it’s making for her and me - thank you!

I have two boys aged 4 and 6 who are both going through different stages of their development. They both recently had a terrible time with nightmares and decided among themselves they wanted each other at night to help them sleep. We got bunkbeds and this helped a lot but they were still waking up with nightmares about giants and trows, (a Shetland story told in lots of different ways), this audio couldn’t have come at a better time. They sat with me and listened on the couch before bed and they were completely engrossed in every word that was told. At one point I thought my youngest was going to fall asleep on my shoulder! We now often speak about the three trows: Shushy, Shrinky & Sunny and we are yet to have a bad dream about a trow 2 months down the line. I would Highly recommend this for any child and for parents struggling with children’s bed times. A lovely way to snuggle up and relax before bed. Thank you Diane"
