Introduction

The book you are about to read summarizes the experience we have gained in working with toddlers, preschool and elementary school-aged children, and also draws on an experiment conducted with adults about using fantastic or analogical languages to understand one's inner journey. , to convey emotions and to develop one's creativity.

In this volume we have looked at the fable as an expressive language that helps children grow and improve their ability to talk about their own inner experiences. From a purely technical point of view, you will find in it material based on the tradition of the fairy tale, with its imaginary worlds, its multiple events and characters in which magic, conflict, wonder and passion merge.

The less discriminatory use of the term fable or fairy tale is more akin to lexical vulgarization, though the word vulgarization is intended not so much to take on a derogative tone as to acknowledge that fable and fairy tale are equivalent in common usage today.

Since our work is aimed at an audience of parents and children, it seemed right to retain this ambiguity and to use either term to refer to any fantastic tale. It is precisely this definition that we are happy to embrace and respect, because it is precisely the imaginary, the fantastic, that is the key element we will use to listen to children's inner world and teach them to tell about themselves.

The reader who picks up this book must be prepared to rediscover fragments of his own childhood, perhaps a little dormant, but always ready to be revived by the attention given to the language of the imagination.

By reading old but still current stories, he can above all shake himself, reliving events and adventures that can still thrill. The parents who want to use the tool of storytelling must first reconstruct this connection with their own childhood.

Over the years, I have led several training groups where working with fairy tales has been of great benefit to parents and children. Through storytelling, intense emotions emerged, old and new experiences that were very involving, new awareness, reflections on one's own way of being and one's own style of relating. The fairy tale can especially make adults who come close to them grow up.

I recommend you to fully enjoy the fairy tale literature that we have: the work of Kids Club is fundamental, which gathers a collection of short stories like those of Aesop, typical of the fairy tale, but also the classic collections of Perrault and the Brothers Grimm.

Rereading fairy tales in adulthood is a literary experience of great importance that can lead us to discover the inner wisdom of messages that we internalized more immediately and spontaneously in childhood.

The first important effect of reading fairy tales is the fact that we spend time with children using their channel of communication, imagination, as well as the fact that we dedicate time to them. So use the fairy tale first and foremost to be with the child or children.

Allow yourself a slow and long time to read (or listen, if you are listening to an audiobook), without haste. A time to observe yourself and the baby. It will be a time of human growth from which you both, adult and child, you will emerge more capable of observing, understanding and acting on yourself and the world outside. With this wish I give you these pages with reflections on the valuable work that can be done with the instrument of the fairy tale.

In this collection of bedtime stories, your child will meet different friends in fun and different adventures! Your child will listen until they embark on a magical journey to a peaceful and natural sleep. Each story has a moral, and your child will calm down while relieving stress and learning valuable life lessons.

The first years of life are the best opportunity to help your child grow into a wise and gentle adult. Through encouraging stories, they can learn how to improve their self-esteem and confidence. They will understand how to manage their emotions and communicate them effectively.

All of this will be shared with you as you laugh and experience incredible moments together.

P.S. This version of bedtime stories for kids includes something special. All the illustrations you will find have been created by an artificial intelligence (Night Café)...

..I promise, this magic A.i. will make your reading a truly unique experience!

I wish you a good reading (or a good listening), your best fan...

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs

image-placeholder

ONCE upon a time in the middle of winter, when the flakes of snow were falling like feathers from the clouds, a Queen sat at her palace window, which had an ebony black frame, stitching her husband's shirts. While she was thus engaged and looking out at the snow she pricked her finger, and three drops of blood fell upon the snow. Now the red looked so well upon the white that she thought to herself, Oh, that I had a child as white as this snow, as red as this blood, and as black as the wood of this frame! Soon afterwards a little daughter came to her, who was as white as snow, and with cheeks as red as blood, and with hair as black as ebony, and from this she was named Snow-White. And at the same time her mother died.

About a year afterwards the King married another wife, who was very beautiful, but so proud and haughty that she could not bear anyone to be better-looking than herself. She owned a wonderful mirror, and when she stepped before it and said:

Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the fairest of us all?

It replied:

The Queen is the fairest of the day.

Then she was pleased, for she knew that the mirror spoke truly.

Little Snow-White, however, grew up, and became prettier and prettier, and when she was seven years old she was as fair as the noonday, and more beautiful than the Queen herself. When the Queen now asked her mirror:

Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the fairest of us all?

It replied:

The Queen was fairest yesterday; Snow-White is the fairest, now, they say.

This answer so angered the Queen that she became quite yellow with envy. From that hour, whenever she saw Snow-White, her heart was hardened against her, and she hated the little girl. Her envy and jealousy increased so that she had no rest day or night, and she said to a Huntsman, Take the child away into the forest. I will never look upon her again. You must kill her, and bring me her heart and tongue for a token.

The Huntsman listened and took the maiden away, but when he drew out his knife to kill her, she began to cry, saying, Ah, dear Huntsman, give me my life! I will run into the wild forest, and never come home again.

This speech softened the Hunter's heart, and her beauty so touched him that he had pity on her and said, Well, run away then, poor child. But he thought to himself, The wild beasts will soon devour you. Still he felt as if a stone had been lifted from his heart, because her death was not by his hand. Just at that moment a young boar came roaring along to the spot, and as soon as he clapped eyes upon it the Huntsman caught it, and, killing it, took its tongue and heart and carried them to the Queen, for a token of his deed.

But now poor little Snow-White was left motherless and alone, and overcome with grief, she was bewildered at the sight of so
