The Fairy Godmother That Couldn't: A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids

Description

In The Fairy Godmother Who Couldn’t, young Princess Poppy wishes she could grow up faster — but a hilariously well-meaning, wildly unskilled fairy godmother turns her wish into magical chaos. Through growing legs, runaway hair, and a bird-perching nose, Poppy learns that being little isn’t a problem — it’s part of the magic of who she is right now. This heartwarming, laugh-out-loud tale ends with a gentle mindfulness moment that helps children celebrate themselves just as they are.

Parents, here are 4 ways to create a sense of play at bedtime:
1) Stretch your arms and legs out and curl into a ball with your child when prompted.
2) Give your child a hug when prompted.
3) Repeat the affirmations with your child.
4) Make simple magic wands with your child and wave them during the Fairy Godmother's song.
