📖 The Story Behind the Worry Dolls
According to Guatemalan tradition, children tell their worries to the dolls before bed and tuck them under their pillow overnight. By morning, the dolls have taken on the worries — leaving the child free to wake up with a clearer mind and a lighter heart. It's a tradition that has brought comfort to generations, and now it lives on the cover of this charming little notepad.
