Welcome to Esperia — A World of Harmony and Magic
In Esperia, magical creatures called Espers nurture the StarDust, a glowing energy that lives within all.
The Seven Shapes guide this world, bringing balance, wisdom, and care to every being.
Each day, One Daily Tale shares a story from their magical tome—let it inspire your StarDust to shine brighter.
Step into today’s story and let the magic unfold…

If there is one thing that is difficult for the Espers to do, it is to properly take into consideration everything that is not visible to their eyes: the future rather than the present moment, the system as a whole rather than their personal situation, the general Shadow of their entire civilization…
And mental health may perhaps be connected to this general Shadow.
If each Esper is part of society as a whole, the Shadow of that society, resulting from billions of individuals, can hardly be perfectly aligned with each individual.
Disparities exist and can deteriorate an individual’s mental health.
Understanding the direction society is taking, while seeing it turn a deaf ear to calls concerning the problems of climate change or inequalities throughout the world, is certainly a source of inner conflict.
Young people are particularly sensitive to the contradictions of this general Shadow and can therefore become vulnerable to unstable mental health.
Good health, both physical and mental, is nevertheless essential to illuminate the element of Earth with its StarDust.

Paper books over screens
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…

Our Planet: Earth
All over the globe, this summer has seen heat streaks that are not only difficult for humans to endure but also harmful to vegetation. It’s been years since humankind became aware of its impact on global warming. Yet, it is still difficult for many to grasp the idea that the lifestyle we’ve built—rooted in centuries…

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
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,…
