Ask the question

Every book ends with one gentle question. Let them sit with it. There’s no right answer — the conversation is the point.

Name it in real life

When you see kindness or courage happen — name it. “That was so Lina of you.” The characters become your family’s shared language.

“What’s something kind you did today that no one noticed?”

Kindness · Lina

“If you could be brave about one thing tomorrow, what would it be?”

Courage · Rayan
