Is This Story for You?

From the Guardian’s Desk
So if you’re wondering whether this story is for you…
It might be…If you’ve ever felt a little different.
If you’ve ever wanted to belong somewhere soft and safe.
If you believe kindness matters more than perfection.
If you still believe in magic, even the quiet kind.
From Middle Grade to Middle Heart – Who the Book Is Really For
When The Hidden Village of Mills Beary was first written. Originally written for ages 8-12, this story has quietly found its way into teens’, parents’, and grandparents’ hands, proof that it’s meant for every soft heart who believes belonging is where the magic begins!
But something unexpected happened…Adults began reading it too. Teens. Grandparents. Teachers. Parents. And they found something meaningful stitched between the lines.
Because this isn’t just a story for children.
It’s a story for anyone who has ever needed to be reminded that being different is not something to fix—it’s something to honor.
At its heart, this story is about loyalty, trust, and the small yet mighty acts that connect us. About kindness as a bonus, not an obligation, and the quiet ways we choose to care for one another.
Welcome to the Threaded Circle — where each story and soft stitch connects us.
