Befana's magic fills Italian homes with joy on Epiphany eve

BOOK COVER Picture 1 Lia bounced onto the couch, holding up her fingers. “Mom! Only ten more days until my baptism! That’s like… forever! Can’t we just do it tomorrow?” Picture 2 Mom smiled and tucked a loose curl behind Lia’s ear. “I know you’re excited, sweetheart. Baptism is a special day! But remember, waiting isn’t just about counting days—it’s about preparing our hearts.” Picture 3 Lia sighed. “But I am ready! I’ve been ready since last week!” Picture 4 Mom chuckled. “Let’s read a story before bed. I think you’ll like this one.” Picture 5 Lia snuggled under her blanket as Dad opened the scriptures. “Did you know Jesus had to wait for something really special too?” he asked. Lia’s eyes widened. “Really? What?” Picture 6 Dad smiled. “His ministry! Jesus was twelve years old when He taught in the temple, but He didn’t start teaching people everywhere until He was thirty.” Picture 7 “Thirty?!” Lia sat up. “That’s so long!” Mom nodded. “But while He waited, He prepared. He learned, prayed, and listened to His Father in Heaven. When the time was right, He was ready.” Picture 8 Lia thought for a moment. “So… waiting isn’t just waiting?” Dad kissed her forehead. “Exactly. It’s about what we do while we wait.” Picture 9 The next morning, Lia woke up with a new thought. Picture 10 “What if I get extra ready for my baptism?” Picture 11 She helped her little brother tie his shoes. Picture 12 She listened carefully during family prayer. Picture 13 She even asked Grandma about her own baptism day. Picture 14 At bedtime, Lia grinned. “Mom, Dad! Only nine more days until my baptism… and I’m still getting ready!” Mom hugged her tight. “That’s the best kind of waiting, Lia. Jesus is so proud of you.” Picture 15 Lia closed her eyes, her heart full. Baptism was still days away, but she already felt closer to Jesus.

Page 2: One day, Finn's friend, Bella the bunny, invited him to a big hill to watch the sunset. But Finn remembered how tall the hill was and felt afraid. "What if I trip? What if I fall?" he worried. Page 3: Bella saw Finn looking nervous. "Are you okay?" she asked. "I don’t know," Finn said. "My tummy feels funny, and my legs feel wobbly." Page 4: Bella smiled. "That sounds like anxiety. I used to feel that way too! But I learned some tricks to feel better. Do you want to try?" Page 5: Finn nodded, and Bella taught him to take deep breaths—inhale for four seconds, hold for four seconds, and exhale for four seconds. "Breathing helps calm your body," she said. Page 6: Next, Bella said, "Think of a happy place. Imagine your favorite spot and how safe you feel there." Finn closed his eyes and thought about his cozy den, wrapped in soft blankets. Page 7: "Now," Bella said, "let's take one little step up the hill. Just one. Then we can stop and see how you feel." Finn took a tiny step. "I did it!" he said, feeling proud. Page 8: With Bella's support, Finn climbed higher and higher. When they reached the top, Finn gasped. The sunset was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen! Page 9: "I was scared, but I did it!" Finn cheered. Bella nodded. "Facing your fears little by little helps them feel smaller over time." Page 10: Finn learned that feeling scared was okay. He could take deep breaths, think of a happy place, and take small steps to feel better. Page 11: As they watched the sunset, Finn smiled. "Next time I feel scared, I’ll remember what you taught me." Bella patted his back. "And I’ll be here to help!" The End.
