📖 The Tradition Behind the Dolls
According to Guatemalan tradition, children whisper their worries to the dolls before bed and tuck them under their pillow. Overnight, the dolls take on those worries — and by morning, they've gifted the child the wisdom and calm to face them. It's a beautifully simple ritual passed down through generations, and the included Story Card brings that tradition to life for your family.
