An Eden Series Game

Every track tells a story.

In the African bush, the wise learn to read the signs. Match each creature to the track it leaves behind, and discover there is more to notice than you ever imagined.

Why Listening?

Built the way children actually learn.

Belinda holds dual majors in Psychology and Linguistics and is completing a Master's in Pastoral Counseling with a focus on child and adolescent development. She has taught English to children across four continents. These books grow from that training: story, rhythm, repetition, and wonder, doing the quiet work of forming a listener.

A child who learns to listen learns to imagine. A child who imagines learns to hope.
