There’s something really special about seeing your words printed in a book for the first time. 🤍
A while ago, the author of Maha’s Mysterious Mirror reached out and asked if I would contribute a section for parents at the end of her children’s book.
The story explores something I think so many of our children experience: comparison.
And as parents, comparison can slip into our language so easily, often with the best intentions.
“Look, your sister already finished.”
“Why can’t you do it like your friend?”
“Everyone else is ready.”
We think it will motivate them.
But what I love about this book is the invitation to help children turn their attention away from everyone around them and back toward themselves, their own strengths, their own growth, their own journey.
So at the end of the book, I created an activity for families to do together, along with a Parenting Corner to help parents continue that conversation beyond the story.
I wrote my section and sent it off without ever seeing the finished book.
And now, months later, I finally got to hold it in my hands. 🥹
The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and seeing my little contribution there at the end felt so special.
And perhaps my favorite part?
It now gets to live on our family bookshelf. 🤍
