All fairy tales speak of a hero's journey and follow the same format - the main character meets challenges and overcomes them through might, magic, or marriage. The newly realized fairy tales and stories in Wake also tell stories of all creatures facing difficulties and suffering. But the way out is not as easy as waving a magic wand or kissing royalty. The light at the end of the tunnel depends on the characters' choices in the wake of their suffering. Wake is a perfect read in quiet contemplation to stay grounded and reconnect with your inner child. Share Wake with your children or younger relatives and show them how real magic can be found within through wisdom, kindness, and compassion
