Come in, little one. Youâve nothing to fear from me. Donât be shy now. Come away from the door where you are peeking and step inside. This is my enchanted place, my special magic space.
Thatâs it, child, one step at a time. Look around to your heartâs content. Thereâs nothing bad here. But I must caution you not to touch anything. The time will come for that and you must be patient.
Ah, I see youâve noticed my book. Itâs lovely, isnât it? I donât suppose youâve ever seen one quite like it, have you? You have many questions, little one. Theyâre in you eyes, in the slight tilt of your head and the almost imperceptible upturn of your lips. Itâs pleasing, is it not, this little book of mine?
Itâs magic, you know. But then again, in the right hands, all books are magic. Yes itâs true. You hold the key, child. Not in your pocket or inside your shoe but in your mind and in your heart.
Come closer, child. Read from the book, listen to what it tells you. Enchanting, isnât it? No need to touch, my dear. The pages will turn themselves.
I know what youâre thinking. Where can you get such a wondrous book? Am I right? I knew it! Theyâre all around you, child! Everywhere! But I have something special to share with you. Come close to hear my secret. Let me whisper in your ear.
My dear, not only can you read these beguiling pages. You can write them! Imagine the places you will visit, child.
Thereâs nothing to fear, little one. Simply step inside the blue bubble and all will become clear to you. Thatâs it, child. Step inside the magic land of books and dreams and amazing ideas. Itâs a captivating place. Enchanting, isnât it?
