Glowing candle, clear sweet chime.
Draw your circle with a rhyme.

Evening wind and cricket thrum.
Buzzing mind slows to a hum.

What can you touch, hear, and smell?
Magic child, cast a spell.

Using a rhythmic meter and the repeated refrain of "magic child, cast a spell," the text walks readers through a gentle meditation that introduces relaxation and self-care techniques to readers aged from infant to three. As Magic Child is read at bedtime, children engage in a metacognitive journey to think about how people care for themselves by preparing for rest. Illustrated entirely in hand-carved and printed linocuts in a warm two-color palette, Magic Child will quickly become a beloved bedtime ritual.
