A Little Bed Time Magick for your Dreamer

Since The Wish in A Dish found its way into the world, I've been dreaming about something else...

What if reading the story became a little bedtime tradition you share together?

A few quiet moments before sleep when children can put their thoughts, words, and imaginations into something beautiful.

So tonight, after you turn the last page of The Wish in A Dish, don't let the Magick end there.

Choose a word together.

LOVE. JOY. PEACE. KINDNESS. HOPE.

Let your little dreamer choose the word their heart wants to send into the world.

Write it on a small piece of paper. Children learning their letters can trace it or write it with a grown-up.

Place the word beneath a little dish of water.

Then lean close...

Whisper your wish into the dish.

Think about what your word means. Imagine a little more of it finding its way into the world.

Then carry your wish to the freezer, keeping the paper beneath the dish so the dish rests right on top of the word.

Tuck them into the freezer together and head off to dream.

And in the morning?

Take a peek.

What do you see in your frozen wish?

And here's a little Story City secret...

If you have a flashlight nearby, shine it gently up through the bottom of the frozen dish. Watch what happens when the light dances through the ice.

Do you notice something you didn't see before?

A pattern? A flower? A star?

Maybe even a Faerie?

There are no right answers. Just look, imagine, and wonder together.

Then comes my favorite part...

Bring your word to life.

If you wished for JOY, make someone smile.

If you wished for KINDNESS, do something kind.

If you wished for LOVE, make sure someone feels it.

If you wished for PEACE, bring a little calm to your corner of the world.

Because wishes can inspire words.

Words can inspire actions.

And even the smallest loving action can create a ripple.
