Jabberwock This Way
OH NO! Alice accidentally summoned the Jabberwock whose causing chaos across Wonderland. She’s frantic to banish the bullying beast when the Cheshire Cat pops in to lend a tail. Can this feline mischief-maker help Alice and her friends find the way? Purrrhaps. Or, maybe what’s called for is a little curiosity and self-discovery to show Alice she already glows with the power to send the monster home.
PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This story was inspired by Lewis Carroll’s ‘Jabberwocky’ poem. The main character, Alice, is experiencing overwhelming feelings of doubt, fear, and shame. Her friends reassure her that, even though she’s made a mistake, she’s clever, capable and knows when to ask for help when she needs it most.
