Sandy the stingray loves to eat scraps of fish at the cleaning tables, by the edge of the river...but one day Sandy arrives with the stingray squadron to discover a devastating sign that says ‘DO NOT FEED THE STINGRAYS’. 

This is just the beginning of a really bad day for Sandy. 

Will he sink into the mud at the bottom of the river and never come out? 

When another stingray, Joanne, comes by every day with a fresh fish, Sandy starts to feel some of the layers of mud slide off his back...

Sandy’s Yarn explores themes of emotion and our body’s response to challenging emotions. 

This story explores some of the changes that occur when dealing with sadness and depression.
