Gil Edwards is the author of the Whispering Forest Stories series, gentle bedtime tales about courage, patience, friendship, and the quiet wisdom found in nature. His characters, a brave little bird, a patient beaver, a clever fox, and many others, navigate fear, change, and belonging in ways that speak to young readers and the adults who love them. Gil believes the best children's stories whisper their truths rather than shout them, and that a child who learns to listen to the forest learns to listen to themselves. He writes from a lifelong love of storytelling, music, and the kind of quiet that only exists deep in the woods.
