About this listen
Can a magical coat fix everything?
A heartful blend of magical realism and laugh-out-loud honesty, Jane Smith Aka Thistle Fabulous: An Up Story About Being Down is the kind of fantasy chapter book that lingers long after the final tick.
Perfect for ages 9–12, this children’s fantasy novel follows Jane, a sharp, awkward, wildly observant girl navigating divorce, self-esteem, and feeling invisible—until a dream, a magical coat, and a scrappy dog named Thor shake up her world.
Both whimsical and wise, this story shows kids how emotional resilience, humor, and imagination can help them bounce back from life’s hardest moments.
Written with rare candor and charm, this fantasy fiction doesn’t shy away from sadness but lifts listeners up with a message of courage, identity, and believing in yourself big-time.
Ideal for classrooms, counseling shelves, and nightstands alike, it’s a self-esteem book for kids that encourages empathy, celebrates individuality, and reminds young listeners they’re not alone—even when they feel like they are.
Because every kid deserves to feel seen.
