A Note for Parents
These stories are perfect for Halloween week (late October) and bridge the gap between scary and safe for younger children. Use them to discuss how fairy tales teach us that courage isn't about being fearless—it's about being kind even when things seem spooky. Each story is adaptable: simplify for ages 2-5, add deeper themes for ages 8-12. Share one story per night leading up to Halloween, or use them as inspiration for costume choices and party planning conversations.
