Corbilina and the Lost Keys

By Dorothy M. Pritchett

Sometimes children feel isolated and that no one listens to them. They feel they have no voice. Corbilina, a little fairy, understands this because she has no voice. She teaches children a valuable lesson by introducing them to a way of communicating without using a voice. She communicates by showing compassion and kindness to others. This language is called heart language. In this story, a child and Corbilina use their imaginations and heart language to help a person in trouble. Children learn to believe in their ability to make a positive difference. They develop healthy self-confidence. They appreciate the joy of helping without getting a tangible reward. This story also demonstrates the bond of love and respect between a grandmother and her grandchild. Directions for building Corbilina houses in each of the Corbilina books provide additional encouragement for children to engage in creative problem solving. This hands-on activity challenges children to repurpose objects in nature. They also learn there is no right or wrong way to build a Corbilina house. Children will not only enjoy the story but will engage their imaginations when they answer creative questions at the end of the story. These questions open the door for conversations to build self-esteem and to encourage greater awareness and concern for the needs of others. This is the third in the series of Corbilina adventures.
