What's so special about fairy tales?

Published 13 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Fairy tales are the stories that shape so many of our childhoods, but they are more than just whimsical tales for children.

They often hold deep, gospel truth and offer profound insight into the Christian life.

They have the power to inspire hope, ignite courage, and spark delight . . .

. . . not only our children, but in us, too.

Fairy tales aren't merely stories, they’re vessels of light in our modern world.

In the newest Read-Aloud Revival® podcast, I talk about why fairy tales are worth sharing with our kids.

And . . . don't miss our brand-new fairy tale booklists! Head here to see our lists. (We've separated them by age group . . . there's something for everyone!)

In this brand-new episode, you’ll hear:

  • What makes fairy tales “truer than true”
  • How they teach children about hope and confronting fears
  • Why you probably need to worry less about “the weird stuff” than you think and trust your gut on what your child is ready for

Happy listening!
