Overview

ABRA*CA*DABRA - A Magical Story of Inner Power, Choice, and JoyABRA*CA*DABRA is an enchanting and inspiring children's story that gently guides young readers to discover the magic that already lives within them. Written for children ages 6-9-and equally meaningful for the adults who share it-this heartfelt tale explores emotional awareness, self-belief, and the power of choosing how we feel. When Dani escapes to her favorite spot by the lake, she encounters a surprising and magical guide: her own reflection. Through a loving and reassuring conversation, Dani learns that her feelings matter, that it's okay to feel sad, and that she always can shift her focus toward thoughts that bring comfort, happiness, and hope. What begins as a quiet moment of reflection becomes a powerful lesson in self-trust, imagination, and personal empowerment. At its core, ABRACADABRA teaches children that happiness is not something to search for-it is a choice they can practice every day. With simple language, rhythmic storytelling, and a whimsical magical theme, the book introduces concepts of emotional intelligence, mindfulness, gratitude, and confidence in a way that is gentle, age-appropriate, and easy to understand. This story encourages children to listen to their inner ""Wizard,"" trust their feelings when making decisions, and believe that good things are always possible. The message is uplifting without being preachy, offering a calming and reassuring presence for children navigating big emotions in a complex world. Perfect for families, classrooms, counselors, and caregivers, ABRACADABRA opens the door to meaningful conversations about feelings, resilience, kindness, and self-worth. It is a story that grows with the reader-one that can be enjoyed as a bedtime favorite, a classroom read-aloud, or a gentle reminder that life is meant to be joyful, loving, and magical.

Reviewed by Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite - 5 STARS ABRACADABRA, written by Terry Bean and illustrated by Ronda and Adee, has become a favorite in our home for both reading and conversation. The story is excellently written at a level that even my youngest reader could manage, yet the message proved helpful for me as a parent as well. The guidance offered is practical and usable, such as encouraging a child to pause before a decision and ask which option will lead to a calmer or more settled feeling afterward, a technique my daughter now uses when deciding whether to finish homework before moving on to play. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and were the reason my daughter selected the book for nighttime reading to begin with. A jewel-toned palette leans into a stunning purple overlay, giving each scene visual appeal. Dani is lifelike, and the art throughout is first-rate, making this book a wonderful addition to the bedtime rotation.
