Inspirational words of wisdom to help little ones everywhere navigate the joys and sorrows of childhood with positivity, strength, and love.

Imagine the words your great grandmother might say if she wrote you a letter. Perhaps she would encourage you to embrace the rain, or shine your light for all to see. Perhaps she would remind you to take up space and choose your path, knowing that whichever path you take will be the right one because it's yours. Perhaps she would tell you you are loved. Perhaps she would start the letter, "Dearest One".

A gorgeous keepsake for a growing child, this gentle tale takes the form of a letter passed down from older generations to the young, full of warmth, love, and wisdom.
