    About this audiobook

    This program is read by the author

    What the Road Said is the comforting and uplifting children's audiobook from bestselling poet and activist Cleo Wade.

    Which way do I go?
    That is your choice to make,
    said the Road.

    But what if I go the wrong way?
    The Road curved a little,
    almost as if it was giving me a hug, and said,
    Do not worry. Sometimes we go the wrong way on our
    way to the right way.

    It's okay to be afraid or to sometimes wander down the wrong path. Bestselling poet and activist Cleo Wade's What the Road Said encourages us to lead with kindness and curiosity, remembering that the most important thing we can do in life is to keep going.

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      I’m going to be 90 this year and, looking back, I was always happiest when I’d fallen in love. Falling in love is a very expressive thing. And I’ve done it once or twice. Of course, the high point of all this carry-on was in the 1950s and 60s, when I

      I loved the book . Listening to the audiobook feel more love .
    • 5/5
      I loved this audiobook so much! The beginning music is so lovely, and there is some other serenity music along with the audiobook. I loved the message that the author wants us to take from this book. Life is hard, and along the road, we need to keep going no matter what.

      This book is dedicated to children and for adults too. It keeps me calm, and listening to this audiobook at midnight is a good decision for me.
