Waiting for the Wind Together
A warm bedtime story for children to learn to live with themselves.
The little girl’s shadow was lonely and wanted to travel afar.
She tried to help her shadow, but she is not an adult and could not take a train by herself. Also, they couldn't travel through the plane because the shadow was too light to fasten the seatbelt. So, it was better for them to ride on the wind. While the little girl was waiting for the wind with her shadow, they played many games together.
When the wind finally came, the shadow didn’t want to go anywhere anymore, because they are already the best friends.
This is a story about having conversation with one's inner heart and teaching kids how to get along with themselves.
