The Mirror People is part of a series designed to introduce children to empowering, metaphysical truths in a grounded, imaginative way.
This particular story teaches the concept that everyone we meet reflects something inside of us-an opportunity to see ourself, or to learn something new about who we are.
You can use this story as a gentle introduction to self-awareness, empathy, and the idea that our inner world shapes how we see others.
As you read together, ask open-ended questions like:
What do you notice when someone makes you smile?How do you feel when you see someone grumpy or sad?Whether read aloud at bedtime or used in a classroom as a reflection prompt, this story is meant to plant a seed: every person we meet is a mirror, and each reflection helps us discover more about ourselves.
