Sorcellina and the Kindness Potion
A bedtime adventure for children, brimming with humour. The witch Sorcellina has made a complete mess of her latest potion. Instead of turning her wicked and nasty in good time for the great witches' inspection, it has gone and made her adorable, polite, and utterly overflowing with kindness from head to toe! For a witch, this is an absolute catastrophe, but for the rest of Tournebois it is a wonderful stroke of luck. Through one spell mishap and one funny twist after another, Leo and Pistache watch this newly sweet sorceress fumble her way through the day, holding doors open and handing out compliments left and right, and they slowly discover a happy truth: kindness might just be the very greatest power of all. The harder she tries to be wicked, the kinder she somehow becomes, much to her own utter confusion. Little by little, Sorcellina herself begins to wonder whether being kind is really so terrible after all. The whole kingdom warms to her, neighbours wave a friendly hello, and she finds, much to her own great surprise, that helping other people actually feels rather lovely. The kinder she becomes, the happier the whole kingdom grows, and even Sorcellina cannot quite help but smile. Before long, the once-grumpy witch is helping out all over the kingdom, and finding that she rather likes it. This is a warm, funny adventure that celebrates being kind, the kind of tale to listen to with a giggle just before bed. It leaves a child feeling, deep down inside, that gentleness is a real and mighty strength. It is a playful little adventure with a warm and generous heart at its centre. Playful and reassuring all at once, it is the sort of story that ends the day on a happy, good-natured note, with a smile and a soft, open heart. A screen-free audio adventure for children from age 5, fun to share at bedtime or in the car. As always with Tilibou, the ending settles softly, without music, so your child can wind down before sleep. All Tilibou bedtime stories on
