Holiday stories, whether shared at the dinner table, read from beloved books, or enjoyed during seasonal films, give children what they crave most: imagination, connection, and a sense of belonging.

Autumn is the perfect season to slow down, cozy up, and share stories together. Cooler evenings, warm blankets, and the rustling of leaves create the ideal backdrop for reading.

One of the most powerful tools we can give them is the metaphor—a way to take something familiar and use it to explain something deeper.

Children are full of wonder. A good story doesn’t end with the credits—it opens doors to imagination and self-expression.
