A Parrot's Tale: A Friendship Story for ...

Rhea Pechter
About this episode

Parrot lives in an apartment on the outskirts of a city, above the outfield of a baseball diamond. She enjoys spending time wandering around the apartment, sitting on her person's shoulder, taking her daily naps, and watching the baseball games down below. Her life is simple and fine - until a series of unexpected things happen. Find out what happens in this sweet story about friendship and change. ENJOY!

If you love this story, please share it with any parrots who may be lonelier than they care to admit, snails who enjoy baseball, anyone who loves a challenging jigsaw puzzle - don’t we all - and your friends. They might just need a good story these days. Big People: if you happen to have an Apple device, leave a review in Apple Podcasts!

If your tiny person wants to share a story they've written, please send photos or recordings of it to rhea@littlestoriestinypeople.com. I'd LOVE to see their artwork, stories, and anything else they'd like to share.

BIG THANKS to the listeners who provided sound effects used in the story: PIPPA, YAEL, and LIAM!
