From the AuthorI hope this book is as much of a joy to read as it was to publish. My goal was to give parents a simple tool to help them build their kids’ moral compass.It is important to teach children moral virtues because they are the foundation for healthy and fulfilling relationships, both with others and with oneself. Virtues such as honesty, kindness, compassion, responsibility, and respect help children develop positive character traits and form strong, positive connections with others.Teaching children moral virtues also helps them develop the skills and values necessary for making good decisions, solving problems, and navigating complex social situations. It can also contribute to their overall sense of well-being and happiness.In addition, teaching children moral virtues helps to create a more just and compassionate society. By teaching children to be kind, compassionate, and respectful towards others, we can help create a world in which people treat each other with dignity and respect, regardless of differences in race, ethnicity, religion, or background.Overall, teaching children moral virtues is an essential part of helping them grow into well-rounded, empathetic, and responsible individuals.

The Wild Swans (Danish: De vilde svaner) is a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about a princess who rescues her 11 brothers from a spell cast by an evil queen. The tale was first published on October 2nd, 1838 as the first installment in Andersen's Fairy Tales Told for Children, published in Copenhagen, Denmark. It has been adapted to various media including ballet, television, and film, including Gregory Maguire’s novel A Wild Winter Swan, published in 2020, which is loosely based upon Andersen’s story. With Maguire’s book coming out, we felt the need for a high-quality, low-cost ebook edition of The Wild Swans, with many illustrations from the era – that was our goal in formatting and publishing this collection.
