Magical Things is a tender and uplifting picture book crafted to bring joy, calm, and confidence to young hearts. With gentle affirmations and bright, magical illustrations by Prexie Beland, it’s designed to help children embrace their emotions, develop a growth mindset, and feel empowered — especially during those little wobbly moments of uncertainty.

I picked up this book to support the little swimmers I teach, and it’s become an unexpected gem in my toolkit. The kids love flipping through the pages on my tablet, and often linger over the illustrations. It’s like the book casts a quiet kind of magic — building trust, sparking conversations, and giving kids something kind and grounding to hold onto.

If you're working with children — in water, in classrooms, or even just at bedtime — Magical Things is worth a look. It’s not loud or flashy. It’s sincere. And sometimes, that’s what children need most.
