The Murmuring Mirror

‘’Milo’s Mirror World”

Age Range: 8–12

Themes: Responsibility, cause and effect, gratitude.

Milo hates brushing his teeth and tidying his room. One day, his bathroom mirror ripples like water and pulls him into a reversed version of his house, where chores and fun are switched. The more he avoids responsibility, the darker the mirror world becomes. Only by helping his “mirror family” can he find the key back home. When Milo returns, he sees chores as ways to care for others.

“If you had a mirror world of your own, what would be opposite?”
