Why Gnomes? How your child benefits from hearing about gnomes, elves & fairies - PDF
Have you ever wondered why stories of gnomes, elves, and fairies are such an essential part of childhood?
In this 12-page booklet, I explore the question “Why Gnomes?” — offering insight into the history, symbolism, and universality of these tiny elemental beings. You’ll learn why I believe it’s more important than ever for children to hear about them — especially in our modern, fast-paced world.
These gentle stories nurture imagination, empathy, reverence for nature, and a sense of wonder — qualities that help children grow into balanced, creative, and caring human beings.
Whether you’re a teacher, homeschooling parent, or storyteller, this booklet will help you understand the deep value behind these tales and how they serve the developing child.
