Bedtime Stories with a Global Twist

For years, bedtime stories were a nightly ritual for my child. But the usual fairy tales grew stale. I craved something more, something that sparked curiosity about the world beyond our doorstep. This book became our magic carpet, transporting us to vibrant cultures through captivating myths. It weaved a tale about a playful wolf who loved to sing. But his joyful howls scared the nighttime creatures. The story resonated with my child's own love for singing, prompting discussions about respecting others and using our talents responsibly. Each night, a new myth unfolded, igniting our imaginations and fostering a sense of wonder about the world's diverse cultures.
