There’s an Elephant in the Yard

This is the fourth fairy tale in the series of stories designed to be read to babies while in mothers’ wombs. Each of these tales is a metaphor for a part of the journey a new baby is undertaking to come into mother’s arms. Reading these stories enhances the bond, the tie between mommy and baby, between parent and child. This is falling in love with your baby. What greater gift can you give to your child while s/he is in your womb? Reading to baby acknowledges the consciousness and innate wisdom within the growing embryo. What greater gift can a father, grandmother, caring relative or friend, give to a pregnant woman than to support the bond between a mother and her unborn baby? Research reveals that newborns remember stories that were read to them while they were in utero because they respond positively to the particular stories they heard. The First Fairy Tale: Book IV welcomes babies around the world as they come into the light. Read this tale to your baby before birth and continue to read it to your newborns and toddlers as they grow. Build your bond with your baby before and after birth-it’s never too early.

“Una divertida y hermosamente ilustrada fantasía moderna sobre el precioso proceso de dar vida. La concepción se convierte en una accesible historia para todos.”

Janet Teodori, MD, Neuróloga Pediátrica y miembro APPPAH

“En este mundo nuestro donde arte y ciencia se cruzan, este libro es una verdadera gema. Cuentos de hadas pueden traer a nuestra mente la verdadera sabiduría del inconsciente y enriquecer nuestro conocimiento científico. La verdadera belleza del milagro de la concepción, como Dr. Susan Highsmith lo demuestra en este libro, le da a los niños y adultos el entendimiento que un “Nacimiento Lleno de Amor” es lo que nuestras almas están buscando.”

“El Primer Cuento de Hadas Libro 1: La Aventura Comienza por Susan Highsmith combina una belleza elegante con palabras mágicas que nos inspiran e informan del misterio y la realidad de la concepción. Esta hermosa obra de arte de Mark Sean Wilson añade una aura transcendente a cada pagina. Las formas y colores de sus ilustraciones junto con el texto enriquecido de Susan nos traen la maravilla del natural, pero milagroso, viaje antiguo que cada uno de nosotros toma.”

The First Fairy Tale: Book II is the second book in a series that creatively tells the story of our beginnings in a way that delights children and parents alike.  Everyone has been born, so we have each taken this journey described in classic fairy tales, fables, allegories, legends, and myths across cultures and generations. Now you can share this magnificent journey with those who are actually taking it, those who enjoy hearing it the most and benefit from having their travels acknowledged. Parents can read The First Fairy Tale Book II: The Awakening Heart to their small children—it is really intended to be read to babies while they are still in the womb. Research shows that newborns remember the stories and songs they heard while in utero! They are calmed and reassured by the sound of your voice and the tone of their own story being told with love.
