Pirouette and the Fair He Never Saw
Pirouette spins without pause on the sunny toy shelf, sure that the moment he stops he will topple and fall. A gentle bedtime story about the fear of resting, and the bright little fair he finally sees once he lets himself be still. For every little one who cannot let themselves slow down.

A little top spun on the sunny shelf. If he stopped, he would surely fall. So Pirouette spun and never once paused.
Round and round until the world went blurry. He spun faster, dizzy and out of breath. The fair blurred at the edge of sight.
Colors blurred as he grew too tired. At last he wobbled, spinning almost done. Trembling, he let himself finally stop.
He did not fall, he settled steady. And saw the whole bright fair at last. Resting felt calm, not frightening at all.
Now Pirouette spins, then stops to watch.
