The Duchess of Cambridge has encouraged young viewers to face their fears during a bedtime story reading for CBeebies.
Kate described the modern children’s classic The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark, by Jill Tomlinson, as an “encouraging tale” during her narration of the book to mark Children’s Mental Health Week.
Illustrated by Paul Howard, the book tells the story of baby barn owl Plop, who is helped by others to grow in confidence and overcome his fears.
