A Fresh Start

Trying to build a world where peace would prevail was not an easy mission at all. There were so many things to take into account, but the Seven Shapes agreed that flexibility should remain a point of focus.

Because flexibility allows for communication, the ability to try new things, and even, at times, to take a new turn with a fresh start.

The Espers would naturally change over the years, through the new experiences they acquired and the new acquaintances they made.

Working on one’s own StarDust was a priority in Esperia, but how to work on it remained the freedom of each Esper. Some chose to place more emphasis on Empathy at one point in their lives, or on Willpower at another.

With different aspects of the StarDust highlighted, different parts of one’s inner Shadow could be revealed.

So fresh starts were often welcomed, and the community of Esperia was built to help the Espers try different things, so they could understand themselves even better.

    The reality is that screens have taken over the world—smartphones, tablets, computers—all within just a few decades. We also now understand that, physiologically speaking, it is recommended for young children to avoid screens as much as possible and instead use paper books. It is better for their brain development. And when we consider that our

    Guruko Gets Sick

    Guruko was feeling ill. She began to develop a fever and had to lie in bed all the time, struggling to catch her breath. Cha Cha, her faithful platypus, was at her side—preparing food with the help of Grandma Luna and changing the cool towel on her forehead to help bring down the heat. When

    The Fountain of Wisdom

    There was a place in the heart of the Land of the Shape of Wisdom, Esperia, where every young Esper had to visit when their StarDust began to take shape. It was called the Fountain of Wisdom. Deep beneath the ground of Esperia flowed a natural fountain, whose waters spread into rivers that bathed all

    The Basic Physiological Needs

    On Esperia, instead of food or water, the Espers could replenish their magical energy by being in contact with nature—by being gently caressed by the flow of water, and by feeling the flowery breeze of the wind passing through the leaves. They also needed to sleep, so that their StarDust could recharge and shine brightly

    Nothing else matters

    But what truly matters to you? Is it yourself? Family? Friends? Status? Money? The number of likes or followers? The planet? The future of the children? The time we get to spend on this Earth is limited. What we can do in a single day is also limited. Some things cannot be skipped: our basic

  • Open your mind

    Open your mind

    In Esperia, when the 7 Shapes wrote One Daily Tale, they thought deeply about one aspect that was utterly important: having an open mind. Why? Because it was one of the fundamental keys to creating a world filled with harmony. With an open mind, two seemingly opposite ideas can eventually merge into one. The concept

    To act or not to act

    That is the question. Or more precisely, why should we act—or not? I understand you may be skeptical about trying to do things for other adults, who themselves have the choice to act or not. But children don’t, and it becomes a responsibility—whether we like it or not. We are all born in different places,
