The Compass of Whispers

Every Genie in a Book story starts with a simple idea.

Maybe your child has ever wondered if their lost toy or favorite book had feelings. This story helps them imagine a world where empathy brings forgotten objects back to life, reminding them that everything has a story and deserves a little care. It's a journey of understanding the unspoken needs of the world around us.

You don't need to write a full story. Just describe the kind of adventure you want to create. Who is your child in the story? What kind of world do they step into?

Mateo discovers an antique compass that doesn't point north, south, east, or west, but toward things that are lost and feeling forgotten. Each time the compass needle spins, it leads Mateo to an item — a lonely sock under the bed, a dusty drawing in a drawer — and as Mateo touches the object, a tiny whisper of its wish or memory fills the air. Through listening to these whispers and acting on them, Mateo learns that every object has a story and a desire, and that a little attention can make the whole world feel cherished again.
