Welcome to the land of magic and fantasy! This is the second issue of the series Bedtime Stories That Will Make You Wake Up. These are a few short tales for moms, dads, grandparents, grandmothers … and for all those who still maintain the magic of telling stories to children. Reading or telling stories to children is a habit that, unfortunately, is uncommon in our day among parents and grandparents, a delicious scene that was buried under the weight of the television, mobile phones, and computers. Today we are so overwhelmed that there is no time to read a bedtime story. But the simple act of reading a story to children at night is more than an activity to lull them: it has great benefits such as encouraging reading, strengthening their imagination, and creating bonds of affection between parents and children, or grandparents and grandchildren. With reading, the child’s talents will develop, while he acquires ethical knowledge and values provided by the stories being told. Thank you for maintaining this magical custom and for choosing this storybook as a tool to achieve that end.
