Fables for Children

Imagine a very special corner of the world, a small town in Colombia surrounded by green mountains, sparkling rivers, flowers of a thousand colors, and kind people who always have a smile to give. In that beautiful place, animals and nature have much to teach us, and each story in this book is an open window to that world full of magic, wisdom, and tenderness. This book is made especially for curious children like you, who ask questions, who dream, who sometimes make mistakes, and who are always learning. Here you will meet a hummingbird who didn’t know how to wait, a frog who listens to a magical waterfall, an armadillo who dreams of flying, a bee who finds its place in a yellow flower, and even a monkey who discovers the true value of sharing. Each one lives an adventure in which they learn a great lesson, and you can learn with them. These are not just any stories. They are fables with soul, rooted in the Colombian soil, full of colors, sounds, and characters that seem to come from the very heart of the countryside. The stories are told with simple words and a lot of love, designed to make you understand, laugh, be moved, and also reflect. They are stories to read calmly, to imagine with your eyes closed, and to share with those you love most. This book is like a walk along a path among trees, butterflies, and coffee aromas, where each step is a story that leaves a mark. It is an invitation to look at life with new eyes, to value friendship, patience, respect for nature, and the power of small acts. If you love animals, if you like listening to stories before bed, if you have ever felt sad, curious, or brave, this book is waiting for you. Because on every page there is a new friend, a hidden lesson, and a little piece of the world’s beauty that you too can cherish.
