Once Upon a Storytime cover

In a world of dragons and adventures, a young girl wonders if her mother would always come to her rescue. Once Upon a Storytime explores this heartwarming theme.

Nia adores tales filled with dragons, unicorns, and brave princesses, transporting her to enchanting realms. Each night, as her mother tucks her into bed, they embark on magical adventures, exploring faraway lands and meeting whimsical characters. Through these stories, Nia's imagination blossoms, allowing her to dream of extraordinary possibilities and heroic deeds.

However, Nia's adventurous spirit prompts her to ponder darker scenarios. What if she were to be kidnapped by a wicked witch or imprisoned by a fearsome beast in a tower? What if she found herself stuck at the top of a beanstalk, face-to-face with a grouchy giant? These questions swirl in her mind, and she wonders if her mother would come to her rescue in such dire situations.

The comforting answer is a resounding 'YES, ALWAYS.' Once Upon a Storytime beautifully captures the essence of childhood imagination, blending the thrill of adventure with the reassurance of parental love. This charming tale is a heartfelt tribute to the magic of bedtime stories, reminding readers that no matter the challenges faced in dreams, love and courage will always prevail.

This bedtime story with a difference cleverly references beloved fairy tales that are popular with readers of all ages. A fantastic addition to any child’s bookshelf * Inis Magazine *
