Summary
This week's featured story comes from The Willowbee Tree collection.
It's called "Feeding the Storm."
Clancy is mad. His day has not gone well at all and instead of saying anything to anyone, he has only gotten more and more upset. But then the willow tree takes him to the coast of Newfoundland, Canada where a wolf shows him how the storm inside needs to be expressed and fed in order to pass.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome to the Sparkle Stories podcast. This is Elizabeth of Sparkle Stories. This year on the Sparkle Stories podcast, we are sharing all stories to keep us feeling the most inspired, the most wonder-filled, the most |
| 0:24.7 | creative, and the most connected to ourselves. So we're going to do a bunch of stories about |
| 0:31.0 | that this March. This week, we're starting with stories about big feelings. Big feelings. We at Sparkle Stories |
| 0:42.0 | believe it's really valuable for us to feel our feelings, to make room for our emotions. |
| 0:48.5 | Because our emotions have something to tell us and they often just want to move. They just need space. So I'm |
| 0:56.3 | picking a story about anger. About anger. This is the first time I think I've played a story about |
| 1:03.9 | anger on the Sparkle Stories podcast. It's called Feeding the Storm, and it's about Clancy from the Willowbee Tree series. Do you know this |

| 1:20.6 | haven't ever been mad once, and sometimes being mad can be uncomfortable, and sometimes people |
| 1:26.7 | don't like it when you feel mad. In this story, |

| 1:40.8 | they get to meet remarkable animals that help them to understand themselves. |
| 1:46.0 | And in this story, Clancy goes to Canada and he meets a wolf. |
