"Everyone is different,
This is true,
They come in all shapes and sizes,
And that includes you.
Some are pointy,
Some are round,
Some reach the sky,
Some are close to the ground.
But everyone gets a gift,
Called a magic box,
Containing all their clothes;
Shoes, shirts, and even socks.
The box is magic,
Because the clothes are just right,
Fitting most folks perfectly,
Not too baggy nor too tight.
But every now and again,
By complete chance,
The clothes don’t fit,
Not the gloves, the hats, or the pants.
Sometimes there’s a mistake,
And you get the wrong box,
And nothing feels right,
Not the shoes, the shirts, or even the socks."


"The Magic Box" is about what happens when something doesn't feel right for you. It teaches children that sometimes you need something different to everyone else, and the importance of asking for help and not letting people pressure you to accept what isn't right for you.

"The Magic Box" was written and illustrated without AI; please support real people.
