Caregivers, Teachers, and Parents have so much to teach to our children and sometimes we forget to discuss some important subjects in life such as paying it forward. This type of lesson involves kindness, how to treat others and helping others. Helping others does not only help the world become a better place but also it helps to build endorphins, which means it makes your brain create happy hormones! By learning the lessons taught in the book and following the examples, the reader will learn to lead and strive to help others in need and learn happiness. Another big lesson in the book has to do with bullying, and how to help others. A Step in the Magical Woodlands is not just a book full of valuable lessons. The book is an adventure, fun filled, heartwarming magical journey. A creative and beautiful dialogue with a satisfying storyline.
