The notebooks are labeled, the lunchboxes packed, and the backpacks zipped tight. But as another school year begins, many of us are thinking about more than just routines and to-do lists.
We’re thinking about how to help our kids walk into the classroom with confidence, empathy, resilience… and the courage to stay true to who they are.
As a mom, I know how overwhelming back-to-school season can be. It’s not just about getting our kids ready academically, it’s about supporting their emotional world, too.
What if, this year, we focused less on perfection…and more on values?
💛 What really matters this school year?
- That our kids know kindness matters, even when no one’s watching.
- That they learn how to bounce back after a hard day.
- That they believe in their own voice, even if it shakes sometimes.
- That they see mistakes not as failures, but as stepping stones.
These are the things that stick with them far beyond any classroom.
And that’s exactly why I created Ella Stella and the Kindness Medal, a magical story for girls ages 6–10 designed to help spark these deeper lessons in a way that feels fun, safe, and exciting.
🌙 Why Ella Stella is the perfect back-to-school story:
✨ It’s not just something to read: it’s something to experience.
Kids can color the pages as they go, making the story theirs and connecting more deeply to the characters and values.
🦄 It’s filled with magic: but teaches real-life lessons.
Ella rides a unicorn to school, sure — but what she’s really learning is how to be kind, how to be patient, and how to be brave when it’s hard.
📚 It opens the door to meaningful conversations.
The story makes it easy to talk about things like friendship, inclusion, and doing the right thing, all through characters your child will love.
🎨 It encourages creativity and confidence.
Letting kids color their own version of the story invites them to express themselves, reflect, and feel proud of what they’ve made.
