Fairness
What is this story about?
Mallow and the Two Water Paths is a gentle TinyTales Land story for children that explores fairness. Two rainbell gardens receive the same water, but only one begins to recover. Mallow must discover why fairness does not always look equal. Families can read it together at bedtime, during quiet time or as a starting point for a calm conversation about the choices and feelings in the story.
What can children learn from this story?
People and living things can need different kinds or amounts of support. Looking only at equal portions can hide important differences. Fair decisions begin with careful observation and listening.
