About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is lingering in that wide-eyed space between wakefulness and sleep, asking endless questions about how the world works. This gentle bedtime story features a mother responding to her child's curiosity by weaving an enchanting mythology about the secret lives of fairies. It transforms common nighttime anxieties into magical explanations: the stars are hung by tiny hands, and lost toys are being cared for in a hidden forest home. Ideal for children ages 3 to 7, this book serves as a soothing bridge to sleep. It validates a child's imagination while reinforcing the security of a parent's presence. By the final page, the natural world feels like a friendly, guarded place, making it a perfect choice for children who need a little extra comfort or a dose of wonder before they drift off.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and safe. It briefly mentions lost toys, but does so in a way that provides closure (fairies are playing with them) rather than distress. It is a purely gentle, imaginative exercise.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or early elementary student who has a very active imagination and perhaps a slight hesitation about the dark. It is perfect for the child who finds 'the unknown' a bit intimidating and needs those gaps filled with whimsical, friendly possibilities.
