🪔 Why Chinese stories matter

In Chinese culture, storytelling, especially before bed, is a cherished tradition. Think of the Mid-Autumn Festival stories about Chang'e, or the gentle folk tales shared across generations. Using Mandarin for bedtime stories for 3-5 year olds isn't just about language; it's about preserving the rich tapestry of '家' (jiā - home and family) and imparting values through familiar narratives. It nurtures their identity and fosters a deep connection to their heritage from an early age.
