Petition for Dodie to start writing children’s books

This is an old comment but where to I sign?

Petition for Dodie to read more children's books as well!!

Can you imagine if she narrates a book for audiobooks! I would buy it instantly


dodie: the moral of the story is to perhaps don’t aim so high, fulfillment is found best when to yourself you are gentle and kind.

me, 18 years of age but tearing up anyways: it really is isnt it

🥺 I feel like dodie is the internet’s big sister haha


Dodie just wrote the cutest children’s book and I am crying tears of joy


I'm a nanny and therefore I read a lot of children's books, and this was perfectly lovely. The little animations were adorable, and I could see this easily getting published if you wished to do so. Cheers x


When Bean said, “Why am I so tired and everything is the same?” that spoke to me on a spiritual level... thanks for this Dodie!!!!


save the children: can you read a kids book for us?
dodie: i got u
(proceeds to write epic poem about being kind to yourself and having a growth mindset to prevent burnout while also letting everyone know about a really helpful organization like yas)


Dodie: bean
Hazel: the snail

Stevie: the butterfly


Why is it that you never realise the true “moral” or message of a children’s story until you read it or listen to it years and years after you first read it as a child??

Erm, because we have neither the life experience nor the brain development as a child to look that deep into a story yet? I mean this is pretty obvious stuff lmao


And for a moment I forgot this isn’t a published book and i’m not a 7-year-old little girl...

SHE DOES THIS SO WELL

And for a moment I forgot this isn’t a published book and i’m not a 7-year-old little girl...

*SHE DOES THIS SO WELL*

honestly i felt like i was back in the book corner in year 3

<b>I KNOW RIGHT I KEEP ON COMING BACK TO THIS LIKE WOAH</b>

*I KNOW RIGHT I KEEP ON COMING BACK TO THIS LIKE WOAH*


Ok but this is so comforting, dodie is like a lovely aunt tucking u in when ur parents have gone for a night out <3     This was a lovely little capsule of relief from the stress of this whole mess

Here she's like a really cute teacher with the glasses


“Why am I so tired and everything is the same?” This hit me like a ton of bricks. I find it so hard to feel like I've achieved stuff with DPDR and chronic fatigue, really needed this reminder to take things slow. 10/10 would definitely cry about bean the bug again


i know the theme of this book is a very universal feeling, but having ADHD gives it a slight twist and really feels like a kick in the gut. always feeling behind, watching everyone accomplish things with their eyes closed when you have trouble putting on your shoes without falling asleep. you're told to just apply yourself, or to just try harder, or to just put your mind to it. other people can move their houses in one day! why can't you? you're just not taking this seriously enough.

so to overcompensate, you try and do everything at once. after all, you've got so much to catch up on. still, people don't see that. they see your messy projects thrown about, your half-done artworks and sheet music, the scribbled notes for that test coming up, various hobbies and activities that are barely touched, the thousands upon thousands of unopened emails, and they call you lazy. but you're trying so hard! you're tired and stressed and overworked yet *nothing has changed*. it seems no matter what you do, things stay the same.

to anyone reading this who relates, just know you'll be okay. it's alright to ask for help, you're allowed to struggle. ask questions, take breaks, be nicer to yourself. your brain works a little differently but that doesn't mean you're incapable. find what's right for you, whether that be therapy, medication, meditation, special considerations, anything. inquire with your teachers or professors about how they can help you. create a work plan that suits your needs and enables you to excel. you're not stupid for having a hard time keeping up with those around you. it's not a race. stop unfairly comparing yourself.

"fulfilment is found best
when to yourself, you are gentle and kind."

@Brooke Danneker you have no idea how happy this reply makes me 😭 i believe in you!

I’m not sure if you’ll see this cause i know this video and comment was posted a while ago but i came back to this video because the first time i heard it i cried. i have adhd and i just relate to this video so much. i have the attention deficit type so i’m more of a dreamer you know like bean the bug. i have so much work to do and i’m sooo hard on myself. i’m working really hard on all of my goals but i feel like nothing is getting done. your comment really inspired me i’m going to work more on being nice to myself and being understanding of my brain that works a bit differently. thank you so much💕💕

@Zoe Linked poggers dude. hope treatment eases ur symptoms :))

Found out what I got and it gets better Babey!

@Zoe Linked i'm so glad you i could give you something hopeful :)) good luck with your psychologist ♡

Ya boi is about to see a psychologist because I’ve been struggling with the workload so badly. I haven’t felt like this in two years, when my depression was at its worst, and I’m really anxious it won’t get better but Dodie and people like you help me hope. Thank you thank you thank you. Love you. 💕

tayllah e. thank you so much for this <3

I love you. I've been struggling so much with this. ADD is really hard.


*cough* *cough*  New York Times Bestseller. *cough* *cough*

Also thank you Dodie for such a wonderful and precious book <3 :)

dodie's music: makes me cry
dodie's book: makes me cry
and now, dodie's storybook for children: makes me cry


alright i know this is a children's story, but honestly, it brought me to tears? like today (and quarentine in general) has just been awful and everyday is the same and yet a brand new emotional rollercoaster. this story just kind of told me to stop, breathe, remember that you're here and you're breathing, and you have a future to look forward too, not just quarentine, it'll just take time. thank you dodie for your adorable, calming story and helped me get through this month ♡


Dodie, i dunno if you'll even see this. But thank you. Have been depressed and a simple story like this just warmed my heart out of nowhere :')<br>Bless you

Dodie, i dunno if you'll even see this. But thank you. Have been depressed and a simple story like this just warmed my heart out of nowhere :')
Bless you

I’m so sorry you’ve been depressed pal<br>I’m glad you felt a little better for a while! I hope you find more of those <3

I’m so sorry you’ve been depressed pal
I’m glad you felt a little better for a while! I hope you find more of those <3


The illustrations, Dodie’s soft voice and the whole story in general remind me of being little and watching Cbeebies just before bed time and someone would be in a chair reading a story that I almost always wanted my mum to buy for us. Amazing work Dodie, I love it.


Me, starting this: "I should show this to nieces."

Me, finishing this: "I should show this to my adults."


When you're emotional asf and crying over a children's book


dodie wrote a children’s book about loving yourself. she is a little bean

social philistine oh shoot my bad. perfect correction

I got the impression that she is Bean or Bean is she.


All my life I struggled with ever being able to cry, regardless of however massive the sadness beneath my surface. No matter how badly I wished to, I could not bring myself to. Dodie, you have always been the only one who has truly been able to bring about the end of such yearning, that so sweet a release. This story hit me so personally, as I am a recovering addict whose dreams were too put on hold. One of our many mottos is, "One day at a time." It has been a dream of mine for long that I should get to play music with you someday. So the fact that you, of all, could serve as a vessel of this such invaluable truth, a vessel which to mine eyes has taken form of the world's pinnacle of adorability, indicates to me that my universe is both listening and speaking to me from where she knows I'll most deeply listen. Thank you Dodie, for everything always. You are a treasure.

That is so beautiful. You are doing absolutely wonderful, and I hope you achieve your dream of playing music with Dodie very much. Struggles with my own mental health have led me to face the same inability to cry; this video felt like a dam broke. ❤


I’m crying... I get so frustrated when I can’t get everything I want done. It makes me feel like I’m not working hard enough instead of just listening to when my body and mind are no longer working the same. Thank you for the reminder to go a little easier on myself dodie <3


“Fulfillment is found best when to yourself, you are gentle and kind.” In times of confusion where this whole situation has made me question my future, I definitely needed to hear this. Thank you Dodie 💕💕


I seriously could never thank you enough for this dodie. This is almost exactly what I needed to hear. It feels like everyone has been so productive in isolation and it feels so impossible to be motivated to to all the things I see everyone posting online. I simply cannot stress how much this made my day. Maybe even my week. Thank you dodie. seriously.


These were the kind of morals that some children’s books didn’t have that I needed


When you said, “Please be kinder to yourself.” I just started crying. I cried so hard. I really appreciate this video.


The story made me cry, in this quarantine I have felt very bad and useless, I think I have to start making small but important changes, just like Bean.
<br>Love you Dodie ❤

i’m crying this would’ve literally changed my childhood


“by lunch time he was exhausted but still had so much to do” lol did you mean: my entire quarantine experience so far

omg. im literally eating lunch as i watch this, thinking bout how much more work ive gotta do


this was so cute. i was smiling the whole way through


me sees title: <b>where is book let me buy book must find book to buy must support dodie</b>

me sees title: *where is book let me buy book must find book to buy must support dodie*


why is bean the bug solving more of my problems than therapy ever did


This needs to be published it was so good. 👀 I honestly feel like crying after that wow.


dodie: here’s a children’s story<br>Me, a grown ass woman under my blanket holding a stuffed animal: I’m listening

dodie: here’s a children’s story
Me, a grown ass woman under my blanket holding a stuffed animal: I’m listening

my cat came over and snuggled into me when i was watching this on my tv

@doddleoddle when dodie responds from her other account

Myriam Duran omg i’m literally holding a stuffed animal and listening to her rn

literally me and my 15 yr old stuffed animal right now

I put off watching this so I can go to bed with dodie reading me a story. sometimes you gotta be a kid again.

Myriam Duran literally, I feel called out because same


‘he fell asleep putting on his shoes’  lazy ppl unite, bean is one of us


This is so BEAUTIFUL! Its so simple yet so powerfull... I really needed this today, and didnt even know... I want to read this to my future children. This is amazing, I... cant... im speechless ❤


"Why is it i'm so tired, but everything's the same?" RELATE-ABLE


This was so comforting and stress relieving and just as lovely even though I'm in fact not a child.. I felt like one, being read a bed time story with my brother by my dad 😌 Thank you dodie <3


wow i can’t believe dodie clark single handedly invented literature


Damn... I am 23 and I cried. You are the kindest, gentlest soul and one of the few people who seem to be really understanding and supportive to others. Thank you for that, Dodie, I love you and I hope I will be able to take your advice to my heart and maybe change something for the better. <3


As a childrens book collector I need this 🥺


Why was this the best god damn children’s book ever like I need it published 😂


It's such a touching message even more when you're a growing adult, made me really warm inside <br>Thank you Dodie for all the inspiration and kindness you share <3

It's such a touching message even more when you're a growing adult, made me really warm inside
Thank you Dodie for all the inspiration and kindness you share <3


why is this hitting me SO HARD for a children's book???

And don't forget, just because you've grown older, doesn't necessarily mean the child-you is gone, either. Sometimes, we need to take care of our child-self too.

because that's what good children's books do <br>(and it's amazing)

because that's what good children's books do
(and it's amazing)

Michelle B don’t underestimate the power of Bean, Dodie, or children’s books man


This story is so adorable and made me smile. The absolute right way to start of my quarantine day. Thank you dodie :)


I'm not even a child anymore and I enjoyed that story so much, it's really inspiring! lol thanks dodie


I love the concept of a children's book that speaks so truly to young adults and teenagers much more then it does to children


dodie, this book was amazing! if it was being sold, i would 100% buy it 🥺 the moral of the story is so important and something i forget quite a lot 😅 wishing you many happy things 💖💖💖


OMG! It's almost 3AM, I'm 22 and I feel hope! This little story is so cute, simple and so well accomplished. Simplicity is key for children stories, and everything in life, really. Hope you write some more in the future. I believe that being around children and try to educate them, as well as, give them a little smile, is one of the best things in the world. That is why I chose to work with kids since I turned 16. thank you so much for this wonderful video. Much love!


this made me far less depressed. thank you for this.


This story is so cute and spoke to me a lot cause I've been feeling like when Bean was sad but I have to think that's just a moment and someday I'll be alright! Thanks for the story! I loved it!


"why is it I'm so tired, but everything is still the same?" really hit me right in the heart


petition for dodie to become a children’s author


This was amazing. The story is great, and the delivery is on point. That was the sweetest, thank you ! :)


this is adorable, and so well written! I love how it rhymes, and it has a wonderful moral. 💛


This is just so beautiful 🥺
Me, a seventeen year old, felt some tears rolling down my checks
Thank you dodie ❤


Stories with Dodie needs to happen more! Such a soothing voice, I loved it! (coming from a 19 year old lol)


25 year old dodie has a strong Miss Honey energy that i'm here for

aw that’s so sweet! i hope she sees this.


This is like a soothing goodnight-story with a beautiful message, thank you, I needed this <3


I can't handle so much truth, wisdom and cuteness in such a short period of time, dodie why you do this to me??

Btw, ALOSIA might as well stand for A Lot Of Stories In April... 😉


Thank you so much for this Dodie, I was honestly brought to tears by this, it’s so sweet and truly something I needed to be reminded of today :’)


This story is so absolutely precious and really hit home for me, thank you so much Dodie


this is the peak of dodie’s creativity- and honestly i’m not mad


Okay, I genuinely love this book! It was weirdly calming and comforting. “Why am I so tired and everything is the same?” That just sums me up as a person uhh. Great job!


This was absolutely beautiful and I hope it gets published 💞 I'm going to listen to it again and draw some illustrations 😊


I'm 18 and this was so soothing, thank u Dodie ❤ you never fail us !


That was so iconic. And honestly a message I would’ve needed when I was younger, sometimes compromises are better than gut run ambition


I've been having a hard time in quarantine, I wanted to be productive every single day but that's not possible. Thank you dodie <3


Your voice is so soothing, I can never get over how nice it is. You should totally publish the book it’s a great lesson for younger kids and definitely made me, a 17 year old, cry


Oh my goodness, that was such a sweet little story, I absolutely loved it!😊


That was the most adorable, and heart warming thing I have seen these past couple of months💙


I never comment on videos... but I had to do it on this one. As a speech and language pathologist who works with pre school children, I LOVED how you expressed yourself. The length of the story, combined with the simple phrases/rhymes and the moral, makes it a wonderful story! If the video was in portuguese i'd be showing this in tomorrows sessions!

yesss!!! In Portuguese!!!  eu adorei a história, brigadooo!


Wow, that was genuinely good. So meaningful and yet very cute. I would love to read it to my potential future children. Good job :)


Why am I crying? This was beautiful and just what I needed to hear today. Thank you 🥰


So sweet!! Great message and very comforting. Thank you. 🧡


I closed my eyes and just listened. And i have to tell you, i have never imagined that i could slowly fall asleep to any story after i grew up. Good night everyone :3 dodie, you did it! Love you


Dodie I needed this. You have no idea how much I needed this story. I’ve been struggling with exams and trying to manage studying and testing during quarantine without unnecessarily stressing myself out and today I’ve just felt so unaccomplished as I feel like I don’t know enough to be able to actually succeed in the exams I have to write when this quarantine is over. But I have time. And I just need time. And I just need to be kinder to myself. Thank you. (I’m 18 btw so I’m basically still a baby ig)

Wow I just wanna say I actually didn’t expect anyone at all to see this comment so thanks for all the likes and things. That’s so sweet of all of you including dodie and I really really appreciate it. If any of you are going through the same thing please just take it one day at a time. Especially as we now have many long days we can take. Stay safe everyone


this brought tears to my eyes dodie you are such an amazing human thank you for always being you :)


pal this is so amazing! thank you for this gorgeous gorgeous book, what a lovely bedtime story <3


I’m crying rn 🥺🥺 this was such a cute book with such a strong and powerful message, this needs to be published this is a work of art that everyone can appreciate 🙌🏻🙌🏻


This was SO beautiful.  It almost made me cry (she says as she wipes away a lonely tear).<br>I am a new lover and subscriber of your music and as a musician myself I would LOVE to know how you record yourself because I am HOPELESS when it comes to technology.  Thank you from Victoria, Canada :)

Wow, this is such a cute story with a lovely message! Keep doing what you're doing, Dodie. You're doing amazing and you're making the world a better, warmer, happier place!


This is the book I needed during my childhood, my teenage hood, and now during my young adulthood. God, I really needed to hear this. Thank you, Dodie. You continue to inspire me every day 💖💖💖


the moral of the story made my heart flutter with happiness


This is adorable. Made me cry a little. Thanks dodie ❤


This is so beautiful! I’m going to show this to my 11 month old when she wakes up from her nap! She loves a food story!


wow, dodie really be out here making me hella emotional over this sweet little children’s story. thank you for all you do, dodie, you are such a special and inspiring person. thanks for reminding us what it means to be human.


I would buy this!! What a lovely message for everyone♥


This is so cute!! I'd love to have a printed version <3 Consider publishing please!


this is definitely dont judge a book by its cover. It looks like a regular childrens book about bean but it’s really a deep message about happiness 🙂


me: oh, well I'll give it a chance<br>me 4 minutes later with tears in my eyes: bean, I love and sympathize with you

me: oh, well I'll give it a chance
me 4 minutes later with tears in my eyes: bean, I love and sympathize with you


that was so lovely, I really think you could actually write children's books! It was very safe and comforting with a great moral and cute characters!


Petition for Dodie to become the new Miss Honey


This is so wholesome and beautiful, I literally started tearing up halfway through.. Bean feeling like he had wasted his day because he couldn’t accomplish everything he wanted to hit me a little too close to home :( But I’m so happy he found a way to live out all his dreams and be the happy bug he was meant to be!!!💗💗 I would LOVE to hear more children’s stories from you in the future, and you’ve inspired me to write some of my own :’)


dodie this genuinely made me cry, i can relate to start-of-story bean, i've always had trouble with pressure + taking on too much + i'm so happy bean achieved his dreams :(( i hope that one day i can too (also if you published this, i would buy it, just saying <3)


This is so so beautiful Dodie ❤ If i have kids id want to read it to them so please publish xxx


this was even softer and more good-feeling than I hoped, thank you


honestly this made me feel so many things and is so prevalent to my life right now; i love you dodie. forever my biggest inspiration


So sweet and a wonderful message. I'm going to share this with some of the parents I know.

This sounds precisely like a Dodie creation. Well done, I love it!


it’s official: you’re the sweet aunt who drinks tea all of the time, sings to us, reads to us during hard times, and loves us for who we are. 🥺 you really are so creative and sweet !!


this is EVERYTHING, so precious- I am going to read this to my children one day


Thank you dodie for this beautiful bedtime story


DODIE this is so beautiful and it gave me literal shivers I love this <3


That is genuinely a really brilliant wee story - Beautifully written with a very important message, to both children and adults.


Needed to hear this story badly! Thank you, please write more children’s books! 🙌♥


This was ridiculously lovely and uplifting. Thank you, dear Dodie, for your light ❤


this was exactly what I needed.... this needs to be published it’s amazing I love it and it has an amazing message just... WOW🤩🤩🤩


How can you do everything so magically! This is so beautiful!


why am i crying about a book about BEAN THE BUG


this was so calming and it made me so happy! love this so much!!


Okay I have a one year old and this is officially the best children's book I have heard - it's so good! I've started playing it to him to get him to sleep and it works every time.

The cutest kids book ever courtesy of dodie.


This is my favorite book and it really hits home for me. Thank you Dodie


Incredible, listened twice it's so calming and lovely ♡ xx


This story was beautiful and one day when I have kids, I’ll play this video for them so that they can learn the lesson of Bean as well☺


this is exactly what i needed today i can't even explain it.. thanks dodie!!! <3


nothing has made me happier today than bean :’)


This made me feel so calm and comforted. I want to listen to Dodie reading children's books every evening tbh


That was stupidly gorgeous! I'm 19 and still felt the chills! amazing.


y'all tell me why i cried though. i love this, thanks for the blessing <3


The flipping of the pages really made it feel like I was back in my 2nd grade classroom during storytime :'')


That was Really beautiful and moving! Thank you a lot for sharing this wonderful piece


bean falling asleep putting on shoes sounds like a PHAT MOOD


This was so beautiful Dodie please publish this I loved every bit :')


This is the sweetest thing omgg and I found it just in time for bed ! Love the message here, it’s so lovely :)!


I'm literally crying this hit so hard especially bc some stuff has happened recently that had to do with me changing as a person, but the other party never gave me the chance nor the time. He expected me to be a completely different person just like that and I exhausted myself trying to change within a day. When Bean learned he needed to be kinder to himself and take it at a more doable pace, I just kind of really needed that kind of statement and of course you weren't talking to the audience directly but it felt like you spoke right into my heart.  Ik I'm getting overly deep and emo over a kids book, but that message is just so important.


This book is so wholesome I teared up watching it. It was a very sweet story thank you for making a story. :'3


expectation: bean the bug saves the children

reality: bean the bug saves 20 year old me


Waking up to this was one of the best things in my life for sure ♡ That was so cute ♡


I've never been read children's books growing up so i started crying while watching this. Thank you for putting this out, your voice is so incredible calming


That was such a cute story, I loved it!!! <3


I really needed to listen to this story. Thank you so much Dodie 😊


where will we be able to find a copy of “bean the bug and his dreams” ?


Lovely story, dodie! I think you could be a reader for children's story audiobooks. I suspect children would love your voice for a bedtime story.


This makes me feel so nostalgic <br>I miss being a child :(

This makes me feel so nostalgic
I miss being a child :(


i had a pretty hard dissociative episode today and this was a good comedown from that. thank you, dodie! ❤❤❤


So beautiful and heartwarming! Thank you ❤


she's the single sweetest being that has ever lived icant


omg I would absolutely LOVE to read a whole series of books about Bean and his friends! 😭❤


aww ❤ that was adorable, I swear you missed your calling!


never thought a story called bean the bug would make me cry yet here we are


PUBLISH THIS I WOULD BUY AT LEAST SEVEN COPIES

Alissa Pabon I probably will too honestly, but I’m not sure about it. I’ve got time though :)

@Jude Stubley lol same, but I'm totally adopting (once I find a wife lol)

boo boo oh yeah, of course! If you do it it’ll look really cool, but definitely make sure it won’t be something you regret

@Jude Stubley probably gonna wait a bit more to make sure i really really want it and don't make anything i will regret later, but I think I will really do it!

boo boo do it! (When you can safely leave the house and the places are open!). :)

Absolutely publish it! Please please please I’d buy 10!

@Jude Stubley i'm really thinking about getting a Bean the Bug tattoo because it's such a important message for myself...

Alissa Pabon I mean I’m too gay for children but I would read it to myself every night 😂

I would read this to my children every night

boo boo in just this thread alone we could buy the entire stock


I loved it! The story is lovely, i cried a little bit listening to it💖


This is so sweet and comforting, thank you <3


This is the *cutest*, thank you Dodie for blessing our ears and allowing us to feel little once again.


i think we can all relate to bean. sometimes it takes something as simple as a children’s book to help you out. i wish more people wrote kids books like that. they really do impact you later on.


OMG that was so good I really hope this book gets published for real. Thank you dodie!


this is so heartwarming, I cannot believe how emotional it made me!! love ittttt


Thank you dodie. I really needed to hear this message today. Now I’m sat on my floor crying over a beautifully written children’s book...it’s a good cry though, a healthy cry. Thank you dodie. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face.
Much love,
2020 teen in quarantine


This was the cutest children's story that almost made me cry because it reminded me of when i used to burn myself out for my goals and felt like i was getting nowhere until i learned to be kind with myself in the process of doing things ;;


This is so wholesome 💕💕 honestly it’s what I needed today


I actually really needed to hear this today thanks dodie :3


Thanks Dodie that was amazing. I'm part of an intranet group at work on self-development etc and we do lessons for the day. Tomorrow mine will be 'fulfillment is found best when to yourself you are gentle and kind' - Dodie 2020


Why am I crying at a children’s story when it’s so sweet and lovely? Because in a time of darkness, suddenly there was light.

statmango I love that story deeply.  And I think you’re right.

I think adults cry more often at children's stories than children do. "Love You Forever" comes to mind. At first the mother comforts the baby to sleep, then the baby grows up, the mother gets old, and the "baby" comforts his mother in the same way. I think to kids, it's just a story, but they won't get the meaning behind it until they get older.


Hearing you read, was so soothing and relaxing.


I love children's literature. It's one of the reasons I write myself. I think that story is brilliant!!! I also really think you should publish it because I'm sure children will enjoy this :))


thank you dodie, this was very calming :)


this is my comfort video whenever i’ve had a little cry i just come here and watch this video because of the happiness it brings me dodie you are the cutest


Dodie’s back must be aaaaching from carrying us all through quarantine


You should read this in asmr you're so good at it and this book is so cute :)


That brought back so many memories of being read bedtime stories thank you so much x


this is so sweet! Dodie you are such an amazing person! 😊💖


This made me cry, ma'am. It was beautiful, thank you.


i was feeling so down today and this brought a little light back. love you dodie🖤


Found myself crying without understanding why, I needed to hear this more than I realised.


Awww loved the story. My son loved listening and watching it too :)


Dodie that was amazing!! I genuinely think that could become a published story, I'd also like for you to narrate the audio book too! Thanks for raising awareness for this cause, I have donated <3


i really needed this right now, thanks dodie <3


What a lovely story dodie, thank you so much. Made me tear up x


This was really nice 😊 but it's also strange, I remember writing a similar story about a really similar looking bug in art class years ago. It was only 3-4 pages long though, but I feel like the moral of the story was about the same 😄


i really loved this! it would be lovely if you did more videos like this reading stories and poems, your voice is just so gorgeous and gifted for this kind of stuff


Love this! Would definitely buy this if you decided to publish it 🌻. Bean the bug is so cute


"He invited all the town bugs to visit" Well he better not at the moment...two metres please!!! 😂❤


This was my bed time story for tonight - loved it😊 please more read by dodie🙂


dodie did you reach into my mind because this story is exactly what i needed to hear- thank you so much and it's so awesome that you're supporting save the children!


just hearing the sound of flipping the pages sent me back to my elementary school library, and after the story itself I'm crying thank you dodie


Literally thinking about getting a Bean the Bug tattoo because this story is so relatable and important for me... thank you!

Dont really like tattoos, never ever thougt of getting one.<br>Til now.... who knows..? 😉

Dont really like tattoos, never ever thougt of getting one.
Til now.... who knows..? 😉


dodie your talents never stop !!! we love to see it !!!!! GO DODIE GO 🥰😍💓💞


Please actually publish this!! It’s adorable and kind and so meaningful, puts across such a good message!!


I love that story!! It was really relatable!! ❤❤


I'm not crying, you are! That was so wholesome, and beautifully spoken.


Thank You Dodie. You have a lovely smile. I miss it when I don't get back to your channel often enough. <3🌺


I am crying real, human tears over this adorable little story. thank you for writing this :)


Dodie, I encourage you to publish that! It’s really good!


i’m about to go to bed and now i can have dodie read me a bedtime story. i haven’t been read a bedtime story since i was very young and this is bringing back so many memories, it’s so much like i’m a child again, even the way you’re telling the story seems familiar. this is perfect, thank you:)


Thank you Dodie! This is a very important message that adresses the pressure a lot of us are dealing with. And how you can accomplish multiple things in life without even noticing that you had. ^_^


This is so incredibly sweet! My little sister has recently been learning how to email so my dad made her her own email address, so I’ve sent this to her for her to enjoy too :)


This takes me back to when I was in nursery, so much nostalgia in just a few minutes 😥👍


I really, really hope you turn this into a proper book one day - it's honestly such a sweet story with a really simply but touching moral. So lovely ❤


This was such a cute little story, i loved it😍


This was lovely, thank you I needed that


If only there were more Sally snails in this strange world. Love this Dodie Xx❤


omg that made me tear up ! I wish I heard that as a kid, and im glad to have heard that now.. great message !


I haven’t seen the video yet but I know my ears are about to be blessed


Thank you so much for this dodie! I am almost done with nursing school (I have three weeks left) and this story was so encouraging, gentle, and uplifting! I loved it so much! I'm going to read it to my goddaughter as well, who is a little bean! Thank you for all of the content you're giving us right now; it is a real beacon in this time of uncertainty! <3 :) (My only other challenge aside from school right now is figuring out how to send you a letter I wrote for you)!


I've struggled with depression, and i am always afraid when i have to start doing something bc i might fail and end up ruining my life again like i did before. So  I came back every time to find strength and be patient with myself. thanks Dodie


AHHHH THAT IS THE LOVELIEST STORY I HAVE EVER HEARD OH MY GOSH ;-; thank you for writing it in the description too! ❤


I needed this book in my life thank you!


Been feeling down lately.... this is everything to me thank u dodie


Oh my goodness that was so adorable, I started tearing up! PLEASE publish it!!


This made me feel like a child again. Like being tucked in for bed after a story and feeling safe and warm. Thank you for this. I think we all needed it. 💙


this is adorable. as a 21 year old I found this advice helpful lol


That was surprisingly touching, Dodie ^^


That hit hard. I think these are my first quarantine tears. Thanks dodie for the beautiful story.


I was just having a mental breakdown because of all the things I wanted to do and how time didn't seems enough, so watching this video has been really helpful because sometimes I forget I can't do all at once.<br>Thank you Dodie so much, every time I'm in a dark place, your videos bright me up <3

what a sweet story! it definitely did feel like I was called out tho


This is SO blessed. I love that lil buggy boi 🐛 💕


love this so much 💕 i’m on my way to reed it to my little cousin 💝 thanks!


Two minutes in and I’ve bursted into tears. Since quarantine, my anxiety, depression, dissociation/derealization episodes, and ADD have been attacking my mind. It’s never been so hard and mixing that with keeping up with school and figuring out finances... my twenty year old self didn’t realize how long it’s been since someone read a story to me and let things be simple. I miss the simple life dearly, and this brought me back a little. You probably won’t see this, but thank you dodie


Is it jut me, or do you love the way Dodie pronounces and emphasizes sounds?<br>That last line hit me hard.

Is it jut me, or do you love the way Dodie pronounces and emphasizes sounds?
That last line hit me hard.


Your voice is so calming, you must be so good with children :D


DODIE please get this published! I love this so much!


how does dodie look cute in every frame of glasses


you are the most precious lil bean
thank you for sharing your talent and wisdom in such a kind and loving way, again.
so thankful for you <3


It really should be published. Love it c:


I LOVE THIS. everything about this is beautiful and sunny


My name is Bean and it was like you were talking directly to me. Thank you so much for the boost. It was a message my bean-brain needed.


this quarantine has me crying at a story about a bug achieving his dreams...


This is the kindest, most genuine thing. Thank you :)


This is adorable and I really think you should make it into a real children’s book. It has a wonderful message that I don’t think kids get to hear enough, thank you for being wonderful💕💕


I feel like I needed this<br>Edit: having now watched this I am in tears. I know this is aimed at people younger than 16 but thank you Dodie

Petition to make this an actual children’s book. It was amazing and so pure and had a great moral behind it.


I cried happy tears. this is incredible and I would love to have a copy


That was so sweet.. :) And you really have a point there, beautiful message


I reall love this!! got me in tears and your voice is so soothing


Oh my gosh!!! This is so sweet, thank you dodie. Your so smart 🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤


This is fucking wholesome and I love it with my entire heart


Holy shoot, this was an awesome story! Thanks so much!


me: crying after taking photos of my body because i hate it so much
youtube: have some dodie-

i literally cried whilst watching this-

edit: ty for everyone who replied that made me feel better! i’m gonna be doing a couple of spells to make myself feel a bit better (some cleansing spells and anxiety spells)

This is a bit cliche, and you may have heard it before, but I will say it anyway. The next time you see a beautiful sunset, take a picture. Compare the picture to the real thing. The picture of the sunset may be grainy, dull, and probably won't be nearly as beautiful as the real sunset. Remember that even the world's best photographers are rarely able to capture the full beauty of a sunset. Your body is just as beautiful as this sunset, and is even chemically made up of the same stuff that the sunset is made of.  Your beauty is not found in pictures, it is found in your words and your actions. You are beautiful just the way you are.

You are beautiful and loved. You may not feel confident in you body now but you will soon! All it takes is a little time and a little love from yourself and others support. So walk up to that mirror and say fuck you too any bad thought about yourself and tell yourself how beautiful you are.

if you hate your body, maybe taking pictures isn't the best thing. No one looks good in phone-pictures. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're beautiful

Hi lovely! I'm sorry I can't swoop you up and take away the hate or use my magic shield to protect to whilst you begin to love yourself (even though I wish I could bc you deserve it) and I know you hear all of these things probably a bagillion times. But you, are beautiful. Right there in your own skin. Your the youest you there is, and we need that! Because without you the world would be less you-y ... And that would suck! So consider this a great big virtual hug from someone who just wants the you you can offer, just as you are, no changes. You are very loved. And very, very beautiful. 💜 I pinky promise.

it’s a big boy boog just remember you’re amazing, and beautiful and perfect ❤


I loved this, I would definitely buy it if u published it x


how did this make me tear up ??<br>dodie u r too good

I want this book for my children's library!!! I am definitely on board if you do publish it. 🖤


"I don't own a lot of children's books so I wrote one of my own" is such a mood.


Just take a minute and listen to you slowly saying "Bean the bug" and you notice how it is a perfect beat :D Everything dodie touches is becoming music somehow


I missed the comfort of children's books. This is amazing.


all of your videos make me cry and im not quite sure why, youre such a lovely person and you are changing so many lives. thank you dodie.


That was so sweet, I'm crying. What a lovely story


Lovely. Thank you ,Multitalented Miss Dodie


can’t wait to have kids so i can read them this


This is the sweetest story i have ever heard, i used to do this when i was little, make my own books (stapling paper together) so  much fun :)


this hit at just the right time. thank you dodie


dodie would make such a wonderful author. Teaching important life lessons with the simplest yet most adorable little stories (:


Ok this needs to be published! It's actually perfect and I wept 💕💕


OH MY G O D I LOVE THIS favourite children's book EVER this deserves to be published


Bean the Bug needs to be published, what an amazing sorry!


Immersed in the story from start to finish, Never thought a children' story would entirely captivate my attention . Such beautiful and calming voice you have! First time I watch any of your videos, SUBSCRIBED immediately!


this is quite literally my favorite thing on the internet


love you dodie! hope youre safe! :)<br>edit: your glasses are adorable are they real? (-: ((also, this book is really cute and gave me motivation to finish writing a song so thank you))

....where can I purchase this book????? I need it??? it literally made me cry??? it was exactly what I needed 💓


this gave me the excitement of having someone read you a children’s book which i haven’t felt in years


This is so gorgeous and clever! It shows how talented you are at writing even in such a small amount ❤


I think I was about to happy cry for a moment. How is this so emotional?💕


Dodie introduces "Bean the Bug" at 1:05, and starts reading at 1:17

You're welcome :)


Anyone have any ideas on how to make animations like this? I would really love to find out. Also what a lovely story, why is she literally the most talented person on this earth?


when he grew stronger by carrying his stuff  I letterally got so excited x)


this is so cute i love bean

i felt like i was listening to Dr. Seuss, just british.


dodie i love this SO much thank you for my life ma'am


the moment when dodie writes a book about being better and i watch it on the first day of my new routine to get myself better 💛


Hi, yes, I SUPER needed this today. I've just completed literally ALL of my schooling ever and I'm basically graduated from college now. I kept beating myself up these last two days for not having a plan and this really helped. Thank you 💕


That was just lovely dodie! Ino joke one of the better children stories I've heard. Loved it if this was like a real book!

Come to think of it... You've such live experience and have a real talent for putting that in simple words. Maybe you could consider writing more small children stories about those topics? Definitely would buy it for my baby sisters!!


WOW this story is so good , how can you come up with something so special and  meaningful for a childrensbook ?! I love the story and animations so much ,but also the way that you told the story <3<br>When will this book be available in the bookstores?:)

This is the best children's book ever and I love this so much thank u dodie :DDD


Omg your glasses are adorable!! 💖💖

Edit: omg I love this story!!! 💖


this should definitely be a real published children's book. So good!!


dodie this was so sweet. you put the most important message in a children’s book, you’re so precious


I never thought I needed something I didn’t know exist so quickly💛


I’m holding my fluffy sheep listening to this. It’s fantastic!


I think I needed this more than the children did :')


You should publish this...this story has amazing lessons that hard work and setting goals can result in achievement of those goals. It’s also just very well written. Please consider it :))))


I have chills after listening to that. So simple, yet so inspiring.


This has such massive miss honey energy I love it


Literally what i needed to hear today ughhh love you 😍


That story was so beautiful and well written that I fell alseep


thank you :)) this is exactly what i needed to hear


thank you. this was something i really needed right now.


As soon as the little animation started I was sobbing, this was so pure and cute


please do an asmr version of this !! us asmr-loving fans of yours would love it so much ^^


Imagine if she made a Bean the Bug theme song though


"Perhaps don't aim so high. Fulfillment is found best when to yourself, you are gentle and kind."

I may or may not have cried thanks dodie


Gah please publish this. I absolutely loved it. It's amazing, seriously.


I loved it! This is the cutest thing I've seen in a while


Has anyone else always lowkey thought Dodie's voice was perfect for narrating children's books or was it just me lol


dodie’s voice alone could bring about world peace


i listened to this while in my room all cozy while it was raining outside and it calmed so much of my anxiety🥺


We need a video of Dodie being wholesome for 15 minutes


I don’t think I could get through quarantine without dodies videos or from playing her songs on repeat. Every time I listen to your voice or watch your videos I feel like I’m getting a gentle hug. I love you.❤


Okay, but I have 3 little beans of my own and I'm going to repeatedly play this little story for them until it gets published. So cute and a wonderful message for everyone! 💕


Can you write more short stories and read them to us? ❤


I have goosebumps, Dodie is so cool!<br>;o; I love her

I have goosebumps, Dodie is so cool!
;o; I love her


This honestly brought me to tears because I received a very similar bit of advice from my therapist, and I've started on the journey of being slow but steady instead of trying hard once and giving up. I hope I can be as persistent as Bean. I'll make sure to watch this video when I'm having a hard time. Thank you for this Dodie!!


i'm just sittin here enjoying my dinner and dodie has me crying (in a good way) into my salad because this hit H A R D


Dodie. This was actually the cutest thing I've ever heard. I maybe cried a little... this is such a good message for kids, but even adults. Even I needed to hear this! Amazing.!


this is so. impressive. please get it published, we need more good picture books like thisss


We all need to be more like Bean ( this book hit me hard) )


i will be playing this to my parents tomorrow because i can just imagine they will love it


Okay low key that was really good, I'm gonna show this to my nephew.


Woooowww please read a story every week it's so relaxing and pleasant :o It's perfect to go to bed now ahah


I bet all the kids love her. She's so sweet, I loved this little story! It has a great message! ^u^ the kids will love it


This story is adorable, when can it actually be published lol


Dodie: I wrote a childrens book!
Me: Oh cool! I bets it's gonna be pretty good!
Me at the end, sobbing almost as hard as I was after Ready Now: *oh*

Dodie: I wrote a childrens book!

dodie you make me want to cry in a good way. i have trouble crying normally so.

I'd like to read your future children books - I mean they could be really amazing


Dodie♥♥♥, this brought me an obscene amount of comfort for being almost 20 lol thank you PLEASE PUBLISH BEAN. HE NEEDS TO EXPLORE THE WORLD 🌎


I really wish I'd had this story when I was little. But I still love it and take something from it now.


Woman, you are everything. You inspire me so much.


Yes ! Go bean! C: that was the cutest story and made me a little emotional that made me think of " aim to the moon to fall among stars " it's kind of the opposite of it but also the same ? Step by step you can get to your goal I guess c:


“i’ll work so hard until my happiness is found” I shed a single tear

alright ive gotten to the end now... that single tear now has a puddle of friends


ok tell me why i cried watching a bug named bean sing and move houses.


...but why did I cry though?! <br>That was so good! 🖤

...but why did I cry though?!
That was so good! 🖤


Wow! You wrote a wonderful children's book. This is one that definitely should be published.


Aawww, my heart. What a sweet little story


I love Dodie's old ASMR videos ( theyre some of the only ASMR videos that I actually enjoy), and i would love to have this read in the style of one of those. It would make me all warm and fuzzy in these trying times 😊


i am literally crying this is so beautiful


Petition for dodie to do a whole ass audio book, no matter what book it was I would buy it, her voice is just so relaxing somehow :0


omg dodie please publish this book as a fundraiser it's such a precious story 🖤🖤


oh my god i love this so much i would absolutely buy this if you published it


I have to say this is the absolute sweetest comment section I have read in a long time 🥰💗


The kindness of this video is even bigger than falling in love with dodieee!!

Please someone get the joke I am not saying I'm in love with dodie thank you for your attention


i have literal goosebumps...is that supposed to happen??? LOVE IT!


I'm crying I love this I want to read it to my future children


I cannot, I cannot! When I think I couldn’t like her more than yesterday! She does that, so what am I even going to say? - but seriously, you’re the cutest, Dodie💛


I have a 2.5 year old and I have to say this story is wonderful!!!! I want this book!!!!!!


Dodie this is incredible!! I'm not surprised that your writing skills are amazing because every single song you write has an impact on me. But the way you were able to take such a simple story and make it meaningful shows real, raw talent. I could 100% see you publishing one day :)) love u always


i'm a 32yo man and i honestly needed that story and it made me cry a little <3 Thanks.


this story is so cute, the love of my life is currently really struggling with lockdown and not feeling accomplished as we’re stuck apart until 8th june at the earliest and he struggles with mental health (as we all do), and like this story suggests I’ve been encouraging him not to be so hard on himself and instead to be kinder and take everything a day at a time. today as per my suggestion he got up and had breakfast in the sunshine, he had a long lovely bath with lots of nice bath self care things and feels much better for it and I am very very proud of him. this story made me smile, it reminded me of the power that children’s stories have and I’m very grateful for the encouragement of kindness and patience in the world at the moment :)


i love u so much dodie this made me beyond happy


This honestly made me tear up because I'm in the exact same situation. It's not even quarantine. This gave me hope. ❤


I wept like a baby over this. Needed. Thank you.


holy shit i love this so much thank you i really needed this is so many ways 🥺💖


This is really good!!! I think that lessons like having self-compassion are not something that children's books and other short stories really focus on. And to think it's actually very important to lead a happy life! So thank you and btw, I really felt that!!❤


i'm in love with this dodes oh my goodness how lovely and sweet


Oh my goodness this is spectacular and also very reassuring


Literally the thing I hear most often in therapy is "You need to slow down. If you try to fix everything at once, you'll get overwhelmed and fix nothing, and then you'll feel disheartened and it will be even harder." So, I was not expecting to cry over a children's story, but this was beautifully written and lovely to hear. <3


Can this be an actual published book? I would love to buy and hold and read it when I am sad. That was so cute!


Thank you for this heartfelt reminder,
It was lovely and precious and true.
We all need to be at least a bit kinder,
But especially me to me, and you to you🤍


We need this book published. Like seriously. 😂👍😊💜✨


If you published this book I'd genuinely buy it!! X


this is just overall really great and i love it so much


this might be my favourite dodie vid ever which is saying a LOT


Oml this is so precious I cannot breath!!! and for such a good cause!!!!


That was far and away the best four minutes of my quarantine


This made me so happy and I love it so much


Dodie's got me full-on adult-crying over here


This is going to be the best video of the century, just saying, y'all are missing out if you don't watch


she is

so cute

i love her so much

dodie what are you doing to my heart


This genuinely inspired me. Also it was SO WHOLESOME i luv it


"please be kinder to yourself" 10/10 would buy this book


you should get that published, that is amazingly good like wow!


This is the sweetest story :,-) <br>Made me tear up a little bit even tho its a children’s story,,, being told to be kind to urself hits different

This is the sweetest story :,-)

I sent this to my mom and she loved it so much she told me she teared up

Edit: she also called you adorable


You know you're doing well when you cry over a story about a bug


I don’t know how but you always make me feel so much better....


time to feel soft and have a cry everyone


My one year old loooooooved this (and so did I!)


"bean the bug felt lazy but had just so many dreams" me already pausing to cry because i relate way too much


please livestream and read us bedtime stories🥺


Just wondering what software did you use to draw little bean? Loved the video btw!


i needed this so much. i was just feeling down from all of the stress, like issues with family, everything going on with coronavirus, the fact that i'm going to be heading into my freshman year after missing a quarter of eighth grade, being the oldest sister and not being able to feel down around my younger brothers so they don't freak out.... it was too much. i was crying as i did my chores. when i finished, i snuck into my room with my computer to write something to soothe myself and to listen to music. this was in my recommended. i clicked, and now i'm writing this comment. <br>thank you, dodie.

Please please please make this a real book it was so lovely!!


Did this story make me cry? Yes
Did it teach me something? Yes
Did it make me feel good about myself even if i don't finish my high goals? Yes :)


never thought i’d relate to a fictional bug


this made me tear up... idk why... it’s so gentle and comforting...


Can you read different books and stories a thing on your channel sometime? Your voice is extremely calming and it's nice to have something that lightens the anxiety, especially with all the things happening atm. I personally have anxiety when it comes to sleep and often find myself staying up for hours to avoid it, but having a video like this playing in the background makes falling asleep not so terrible. Thank you for what you do and for writing this wonderful story ❤


That was soo good! I don't know what to say, thank you!


this story hit different. and it’s a kids book. I love it.


You are a beautiful intelligent sweet person love you dodie


i'm really out here getting all emotional over a bug named Bean 😭😆


oh goodness dodie this is splendid in every single way


print it!!! i would buy!! that's so genuinely good you could totally sell children's books


this is the cutest thing i’ve ever seen and i need it published immediately


I got diagnosed with anorexia in March and I've been recovering since but I put so much pressure on myself to write songs and be productive during this lockdown when I also have to finish my last semester of college too. This video really reminded me that it's just okay to focus on getting healthier and doing what I need to first, then I can spend some time singing all I want like Bean. Thank you for reminding me of that, Dodie. 💙


I don’t think I’ve ever been this early what is this life


aw lordt my heart exploded i shall watch this every night my life has become 1000% better


Awwwww I really want this to be published!!


OMG please publish this when this is all over.That was so cute it made my heart hurt


shut up that was so cute :')<br>we are all Bean, but I hope you're following in their footsteps and being kind to yourselves through these scary times <3

shut up that was so cute :')
we are all Bean, but I hope you're following in their footsteps and being kind to yourselves through these scary times <3


I don't think I've ever been so touched by a children's story.  I hope your story does get publised, real soon. Beautiful writing, Dodie 😂 (< crying happy tears)


Wow, who knew kid’s stories could make you cry?😢 this gives me Matt Haig vibes all round. This needs to be published because it’s such a good lesson for everyone, not just kids! If I’d had learnt this growing up then maybe I’d know now how to treat myself with kindness. This message is HUGE!


you're telling me the only thing i needed to hear after years of self hatred was bean the bug? aight bet


I never thought I would have to say this but I seriously relate to this fictional bug so much


Publish this!!! So good, for real, my heart is warmed


I got weirdly emotional. Do another one!!


never did i ever realise i'd need the story about bean the bug so much.


Dodie's really good at writing songs and storybooks. The two are in a way related so it makes sense.


Idk why...this story work so damn well when putting my little sister to a sleep.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Dodie should write children's stories - this was so lovely!


So like when are you becoming a children's author??? This was so natural for you 😍😍


Is this really a children's story? Bc im crying rn bc she has told such a relatable story that im struggling with rn. 🥺❤ thank you, dodie 💕 you're an amazing person


<b>wants dodie to read me a bed time story every night</b> her voice is so soothing

This book feels like it was written just for me and not gonna lie I feel a lil called out😂


i love the little story so much oml it just made my night


Having a little cry, made me emotional ❤👍😂 x


Wait why was this children's book exactly what i've needed to hear...DODIE CAN THIS BE A SERIES PLS !!!


I'm 18 years old and this story gave me the chills dodie!! What the hell?! 😭🥺🥺😂♥ aww thank you sm for this 😂


me: i'm grown i don't need a bedtime story
dodie: uploads
me: maybe,,, maybe i do need a bedtime story

me: i'm grown i don't need a bedtime story
dodie: *uploads*
me: maybe,,, maybe i do need a bedtime story


Wow this book went from cute to my new bible with that moral message


Anyone else get goosebumps? This hit the feels real hard


Actually a brilliant children's book! 13/10 , should be published


Never thought I’d relate to a bug called Bean but I relate to a bug called Bean.


“Why is it I’m so tired, but everything’s still the same.”

I don’t think anyone will see this, but I’ll leave this comment so I can see it if ever I come across this video in the future.

I relate to this story all too well. I keep coming back to it whenever I feel like I’ve done everything but accomplished nothing. I have a list of all the things I want and need to do, but I end up doing something else and feeling awfully unproductive. Thank you Dodie for reminding me to take my time. This video was short and simple, but you don’t know how much it’s helped me ❤


This needs to be published for use in classrooms


Honestly you should try to publish this! Its supper cute and has a great message


Didn’t think this would make me cry. Oh well my lunch break is over so I’ll just wipe my tears and get back to it


I would buy this 100% if you published it. Bean the BUG!!


You are so talented Doddie not only in singing but also in writing stories! The creativity of yours is always beyond the words can explain ;) lots of love xoxo!! My husband once found your song on your song on YouTube and since them we are your big fan 😉 love how real and how genuine and talented you are. You are singing what you feel - and the lyrics, sooooo amazing!!!!


this inspired me. so if u want to hear the tales of tim the ant i’m here for it.


I remember when I was younger I used to be creative too and make stories like this too in notebooks with drawings and stuff, I'd think it will be published and be read by many but as I grow older I realize that all of those things I created just came out looking crappy. Now, I'm too shy even to myself to make anything because I'm too scared to disappoint anyone especially because I don't wanna break my heart again for hoping and doing my best but every time, I don't succeed at anything.


Im decidedly not a child but i really needed this. Thank you.


Dodie, is it possible if I can animate the story you made? You have touched my heart in many ways and I want to give something back to you.


why did this make me cry? Hmmmm maybe because i'm stuck in the past and just want to sit on the porch on my mum's lap while she's reading me my favourite book again... hah... but dodie's story made me feel a bit better and reminded me to be kinder to myself in this stressful time, so thank you! <3


why is this one of the most pleasurable aural experiences I’ve ever had


coming from someone as accomplished as dodie i fully believe this message


dodie, you didnt have to write a whole book calling me out like this


i'm definatelly writing down the story of Bean the bug so I can tell to my kids before they go to bed


Please somehow publish this cause that’s worth it to be seen by every child 🥺


This story is for adults too and no one can convince me otherwise!


is there any thing this girl can’t do i mean dAMn she fully just wrote a book that made me feel like a child again. i didn’t realise it was possible 4 someone to make me so calm and relaxed in 4 minutes <3


This is the most wholesome video on the internet


This is so good I would actually buy this


When I have a kid this will be the first book I'm gonna read to them


Perfect watching with my morning cereal.


okay gee thanks dodie now i'm sobbing over a bug being kind to himself


I'm in bed sobbing to a children's book and i'm not ashamed i love it dodie thank you so much


why is dodie such a wonderful and awesome human


Can a publisher please publish this book?! I would like this for my nieces


That was so nice. A children's story, but with a moral that every person should keep in mind. And also with the cutest rhymes


"fulfillment is found best when to yourself, you are gentle and kind"


OMG, I want this book published and I bet I'm not the only one 😍😘


i wish i had this when i was younger because i probably needed it


omg dodie im a new subscriber and I absolutely dont regret being here


Please make this a published book. My heart is full.


Ah dodie and bean are quite similar, aren’t they :)


I want to animate this so badly its such a precious story!


With every video I just fall in love with you more. You're so pretty and kind. Here have allllllll my love 🥺🥺💘💓💖💗💞💙💜💚🧡❤💝


I just broke down crying at the last sentence


people say it's important for kids to hear these simple but incredibly important messages as children, because it becomes their inner dialogue when they grow up. sometimes grownups need to hear it too, because no one's told them that in a while. <br>i didn't even realize how intently i was listening until i heard myself say AWWW at the end :) love you dodes

Dodie: ive written a childrens book
Me: ....
Dodie: *finnishes book*
Me: *internally sobbing and vowing to read this to my future children*


That was a warm blanket in a cold world....thank you.


Dissociating and anxious in quarantine while being a burnt out young person who was recently laid-off from work.

* Dodie reads Bean the Bug *

Crying and thinking it'll take time but things will be okay. Also, feels like I can finally sleep well tonight.
Thank you Dodie! You're unequivocally the sweetest person.  💕


'why am i so tired, but everything's the same' makes me want to write a song


Can you publish this because I want to read it to my future kids and keep it forever


Ok but like why is this so inspirational like I needed this


When Dodie pouted at 2:26...like she forgot the impact was coming. I seriously felt that sadness, too.


I needed this. Break up after five years. Iv been trying so hard everyday. I started learning uke last month .played everyday and I got decent then I picked up a guitar a week ago it's easier now practicing daily makes a difference I only do it to keep mysel busy so I domt end up crying but playing all day can get well idk I'm sad idk what I was gonna say but thank you


please publish this with original illustrations - i'm in love


This is what youngsters need to hear! Seriously this book should be published.


someone pls publish this book for dodie, i would bet people would buy it :3


Dodie just emanating children’s television presenter!


ok but like... who's gonna stop me (a grown ass woman) to listen to sleep this with my stuffed bunny ??! huh ?!!??

I'm so SORRY.. when she just showed the book briefly at first I read
*BEAN THE BUG and his ORGANS* and I got unreasonably excited


Oh dear lord this is so cute and UGH my heart


5 stars, 10 out of 10. would read bean the bug again


istg if Dodie Clark makes me cry one more time I don't know what I'll do with myself.


Even a bug has achieved more than I have


This is so beautiful Dodie please become a children's book writer.


i cant be the only one crying and vaping aggresivley as this is the only form of motherly love u can feel lmao


I will be reading this to my kids when I’m old.

Why is this making me tear up?! This is the best children’s story ever you should release it into the wild Dodie for all the little beans out there that need to hear this. What a start to the day. :)


Please make this an actual book I want to own it


Read it again! Read it again! We want another! That was great.


'Vienna' by Billy Joel would be the perfect  soundtrack to this


'BEAN THE BUG' is a TRUE STORY~ it's autobiographical isn't it dodie? 😌😅 I loved it! 💗😘 Can you please have this type of vid as a possible regular vlog complete w/story time? Maybe you'd read us another dodie true story perhaps? About persevering, overcoming many obstacles & making new & interesting Friends? 😊🐌 Now we need to find you a Publisher📚to get this book printed for all the children(and all of us as well)to have in our little hands. 😁
I'm tryna figure out who the snail is in your story🤔..could it be by any chance~Stevie Boebi? 😀 It is plausible.. 😂 LoveAlways 💙 KareBear

I'm not quite sure why this hit me so hard but I am sobbing right now

who else wants dodie to write more books for a range of audiences!


dodie you should totally look into actually getting this published


excuse me dodie could you read me a bedtime story every evening please and thankyou goodnight


When children's books make you tear up..


too sweet dangit. made me cry. how dare you haha


Publish this it's absolute GOLD I will buy it!


this gives me the same vibes as rumple buttercup by matthew grey gubler <3


Please make this an actual published book so I can read it to my dog before bed or in like ten years to my kids. And when their twenty they can ask me what that book was that I once read every night so they can buy a copy to remember their childhood. Or so I can pull it off the living room shelf and say “here it is” and they can make it a family heirloom.


who else wants this to be a real published book?


Why is this so good and not a published book? I need it for my 1 year old


i like how fidgety you are during the intro, nice touch of dodie


dodie just wrote a children book with more depth than most adult books!


i want to read this to the elementary-schoolers i volunteer with!


For the 3:59 minutes I didn’t have a worry or anxious thought that hasn’t happened in so long. Thank you.


ngl this made me a little teary-eyed :')


I grinned the whole time listening to this.


Starts chanting "publish!" By the end of the story.


This is SO GOOD. I thought it would be pretty good cause.. well.. Dodie. But this was so good. I’m 27 and got so much out of it! Dam Dodie. What can’t you do?


Ok. That was really good. You need to get that published


this book is seriously fantastic. i would 1000% read it to my children. pls someone publish this book for dodie.


dodie is one of the prettiest and sweetest people i have ever seen, she has such a soft wholesome voice and is so shy and cute and skdbdhdy BRO SHE WROTE A CHILDREN'S BOOK we need to protect her at all cost


I did not start to cry while watching this, you did.


Can I use this as a storytelling piece for speech and debate? Obviously I’d give credit.


You wrote it! Hedy can illustrate! BAM! Children’s book 🥰


Got here from your 'Here comes the sun' collab with Jacob. I cut out the percussion part in the middle and also trimmed off the crazy outro. Why? (Well, besides being a music analphabetic) I felt the song to sound more beautiful in the simple "pure" parts of the song. And when I say pure, I mean your voice.

Was curious to see if you had any other similar songs, ones that sound 'pure' simple and authentic. (Maybe your fanbase can help me out on this one?)

But anyway, to find out you wrote a childrens book.. I think that deserves a little acknowledgement. So here you go. Acknowledged.

After hearing this my heart literally went <b>?'*'°¤☆◇♧(</b>

After hearing this my heart literally went *?'*'°¤☆◇♧(*


I cannot hold back the tears. I have such strong aspirations but I now they are far far away from reality. I think about all of my more significant life choices whilst struggling to get the day to day stuff done.

Dodie you made me cry. And I’m not even a child


im crying over bean the bug when i should be listening to my maths lectures im-


this just hits different rn pls do another


Once upon a time there was a little bug named Bean, Bean the Bug felt lazy but had just so many dreams.

One morning he decided to turn all of that around, “That’s it! I’ll work so hard until my happiness is found!”

Now Bean wanted to move his house, he wanted to get strong, he wanted to be famous and be on stage singing songs.

So he started with a workout, and ran till he was sore, “If I am to achieve this goal, I have to run even more”

By lunchtime he was exhausted, but had so much more to do. He decided to start moving his house but fell asleep trying his shoes.

He woke up by the nighttime and felt bad about his day, “Why is it I’m so tired, but everything’s the same?”

Next morning Sally Snail knocked on Bean’s front door, she’d seen him running yesterday and wanted to know more.

Bean explained his efforts and cried into his tea, “I tried to hard and nothing’s changed, maybe it’s just not meant to be”

“But it’s only been one day!” Said Sally, sipping tea herself. “You can’t do everything at once, please be kinder to yourself.”

So bean began again, but this time was more slow.

He started by moving his stuff, house to house, to and fro.

His other goals were put on hold, and though this seemed to take longer, everyday he walked and carried, he started to grow stronger.

Bean would hum and whistle aloud when carrying his things, the other bugs in town all heard “Wow, that bean can sing!”

Finally, after months gone by, Bean moved home without the race, he invited all the town bugs to visit. “Let’s party at my new place!”

All his friends had piled in, “Looking good, this place is a dream!”

One shouted, “We heard you sing each day, will you sing for us now, Bean?”

Bean smiled, stood up and sang for them, and they cheered “Bravo, divine!”

Bean felt quite accomplished, and it just took some time.

The moral of this story is, perhaps don’t aim so high. Fulfillment is found best when to yourself you are gentle and kind


no im not crying this is too sweet i cant <br>(i am crying tho)

no im not crying this is too sweet i cant
(i am crying tho)


You just made me cry over a made-up bug.


I have the mental age of a 3 year old so dodie reading a story to me ideal.


Can you write a children's story about Bean experiencing the horrors of the Eastern Front of the Second World War as he is conscripted into the Red Army to fight the brutal onslaught of Nazi Germany as it slaughters millions of Soviet Civilians in the name of National Socialism? My son is a pretty big history nerd and he needs bedtime stories to sleep because of the screams.


me, a whole 19yo, crying over a children's book? more likely than you'd think


Why does it feel like this children's book feel like it was written for me


Those dislikes are the Beans who didn’t have a good friend like sally to help them out


dodie for the love of god please write childrens books im begging

dodie for the love of *god* please write childrens books im *begging*


This was wonderful and it needs to be out there for the adul....I mean kids of the world to read.


why am i crying over a story about a bug


tell me why im crying at a childrens story


When is there going to be a Bean the Bug plushie?? 🤔


omg this is the softest thing i’ve ever seen


i think we can all agree that this book gives us all life whilst quarantined.


to anyone who disliked this video, we will have words.


petition for dodie to narrate things please


I FEEL LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE MY LAST VIDEO BEFORE BED EVERY NIGHT i’ve found the perfect vid


where are your glasses from, they're so nice!!


children’s books make me cry for some reason


Dodie needs to write real children’s books


can you put this in an ukulele song, please, dodie   ????


That’s the best children’s book I’ve ever heard. 🐌🐛🐝


can’t tell if some of these words are purposefully singsongy (eg the Hello at the beginning or the Finally in the middle) to throw us off or you’re doing another i hid a song video 🤔 i loved this story! the moral is a really important one especially for children


why was this actually the best children's book ever


Dodies creativity is boundless. <br>Is that a word? Who knows. Nobody knows

Dodies creativity is boundless.
Is that a word? Who knows. Nobody knows


not gonna lie im a grown ass woman and bean made me cry


I'm crying.
I suffer from putting heavy pressure to achieve on myself on a daily basis, I go to therapy for it now and then. This quarantine has f**ked up my university end project which I enjoyed so much, and now I have to do an alternative assignment which I am not that excited about. I find it really hard to stay with a daily schedule and at the end of every day I'm just so sad that I didn't manage to do more. I'm mad at myself for having to rest so much because it's hard for me to do everything at home.
This story helps me a lot, thank you dodie <3
And seriously, if you'd publish this I'd 100% buy a copy for myself to read every night, and also 2 copies for my little brother and sister so that they learn to please be kind to yourself at an early age. It's harder to learn it when you're past your childhood, in my opinion.
THANKS <3


I would buy this book if you published it


Dodie is calling out my bad mental health habits and making my dumbass CRY with a children's book. This is going in my anxiety video playlist  <3


Goodness, I'm 17 but I really needed that ;-; <3


please please PLEASE publish this. You put such a important message in a understandable way for kids, i would love to tell this stoty for my future kids


(potentially doubles up for escapril #19: tough to be a bug)


i'm coming back to this for serotonin and it's working


i'm not crying, you're crying<br>(can't stop crying)

i'm not crying, you're crying
(can't stop crying)


dodie taught me that i need to be like bean. am i kid now????


of course dodie writes the most wholesome and fucking deep children's story of all time


I would like for to have this book, please, yes

Why are you not doing this professionally?!


where are the hanging shelves in the background from??


Make a copy of this and sell it I will buy it, thank you very much


Pan to me crying at 9:30 on a Wednesday morning


Thus isn't a children's book, it has mature messages such as loving yourself and being honest with yourself. Adults fail to recognize these things


If this doesn't get published I dont know what will


Legit imma read this to my kids and no one can stop me


i am no longer a teen, i am now, slightly-taller-than-average-kid yes


0:00 shes doing that singing montage again.


literally sobbing to a book written for little kids


@doddleoddle I'm literally crying. U responded ilysm


Dodie!!! Write a children’s book!!! I mean PUBLISH THIS ONE


Anxious and can’t sleep so here I am back at this video


😭😭😭 can you publish this, you could donate some of the proceeds to save the children! 🥺🥺🥺


Not at all on topic, but man, you look very cute today! And not just because of the glasses ^^


I stg if u publish that I'M GONNA READ IT THEN READ IT TO MY CHILDREN AND GRANDKIDS


dodie ... you might get a kick out of "Dr. Dog" by English author Babette Cole ... a hilarious book that's right in your Humor Lane ... Bart


DODIE BECOME A CBEEBIES PRESENTER. JUST BECOME ONE. RIGHT THEM STORIES AND THEM SING THEM SONGS!!!


This kind of reminds me of giraffes can't dance.


Why do I feel like she wrote this and it resembles with her life a lot. I have been watching for a long time and I've noticed some similarities. She moved to a new place and probably invited her friends to celebrate, just like bean. She started singing and had a dream about it and then made it to reality, just like bean. She had personal problems, just like all of us, about not loving your self enough and not forgiving yourself and to be patient with yourself, just like bean. I think I found my favorite childrens book :)


dodie this is the cutest thing ever! And it has a better moral than all the children books i ever read. This hit pretty hard. Thank you.


Anyone petition her as best waifu? NOW SHE WROTE A BOOK!?!?! I literally can't tell the difference between you and an angel.


If you don’t publish this and put it up for sale then I’ll be really mad


Petition for Dodie to be a children’s book author


I’d like to meet a single human who didn’t cry watching this video, i don’t believe you exist


There is a stinging pain in realizing that the relationship you've built with the person on the screen is simply a one way relationship and that the love you have for these people will never be returned or even acknowledged. Dodie is the only youtuber whom I've ever felt a bond with and I thank you for giving me that pain, in a very platonic yet powerful manner :)


PLEASE PUBLISH THIS Children around the world need to hear and read this!!


It is midnight. I am sobbing. about wanting to be a successful bug


huh, 8 people couldn't see thru their tears and accidentally clicked the dislike button. honest mistake.


This is not A children's story dodie cuz it left tears in my eyes


i am not even kidding dodie if you dont do a book to bean the bug and his dreams I WILL cry forever and then cry more


is there a reason your glasses are so damn big though?


It's so wholesome.... I not crying... What


the last time dodie did something for save the children she made cupcakes with hedy when she was like 8 years old I’m 🥺


Je pense que ton livre n’est pas seulement pour les enfants! Même les adultes peuvent s’y retrouver ! Beaucoup abandonnent car envisagent des objectifs trop élevés et n’ont pas les résultats escomptés assez rapidement ! En France nous avons un proverbe pour ça « tout vient à point à qui sait attendre » . La patience et les efforts sont primordiaux dans la vie pour avancer. Merci Dodie d’être qui tu es 🙏🏻 love you 💖


I'm 17 and crying at a book for children aww heck


haha no i'm not about to cry over dodie's children's story why would you think that

Is it weird to like this bugs more than the people outside


I havent slept and ots like 6am and I'm crying aaaaa


omg i need this for myself 😭 as a 24 year old currently trying to pursue my creativity more intently, i often find myself pushing myself to  do a million things at once instead of slowing down and doing things one by one! 10/10 would buy if you published this as a real children's book!


This is my new favorite children’s book.


THIS WAS SO ADORABLE I MISS BEING READ STORIES

  encouraged another 'Bean'
To reach within themselves and live
  how they're meant to be
And attain heights of which they'd
  never thought could be seen ...

Take care! 👍🤟🤗
