Suicide is the second leading cause of death for teens. Reading the right book to your child can set them up for wellbeing. The Bella Santini Chronicles provides tools for youths so they can safely navigate the complex emotions of their teen years.

An ordinary teen girl stumbles into a fairy ceremony; is arrested and brought to the fairy kingdom, the Land of Everlasting Change. A world caught in the struggle between good and evil, where Queen Tatiana fights to keep the balance of power from tipping. Queen Tatiana spreads the message of truth of the Fae, that fairies are emissaries of love. This gripping tale in a magical land crosses time and dimensions, bringing readers on a journey of self-discovery.

This book series seeks to plant seeds of wellness into the hearts and minds of every child who reads or has the books read to them. The seeds planted are unconditional love, inner peace, and emotional self-mastery.

Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for young adults. The Substance Abuse Mental Health Agency (SAMHSA) states, the causes of suicide are complex and determined by multiple combinations of factors, such as mental illness, substance abuse, painful losses, exposure to violence, and social isolation. Social isolation has significantly increased under Covid-19 lockdown. Underneath all of these issues are emotions with which the teens are unable to cope.

The Bella Santini Chronicles, a fairytale series aimed at ages 8-12, teaches children the importance of processing their emotions and gives them tools to process their feelings. The book series delves into complex topics, such as child abandonment, bullying, sibling rivalry, and good vs. evil. Readers build emotional muscle and set a path of well-being that allows them to navigate the difficult teen years without seeing suicide as a solution to their problems.

A concerned parent may ask, “How can a little fairytale book impact the teen suicide rate?”. This is a valid question. As stated above, many of the factors leading to suicide are caused by the inability to process their emotions. Substance abuse is an escape from feelings; violence and isolation bring up strong feelings that can cause a teen to seek relief from their pain. These books plant seeds; how to process their emotions, how to lift out of victim mentality, and how to find value in themselves; seeds planted before the children reach their teen years. The purpose behind these books is to provide children with a well-being platform of emotional balance that helps them navigate the teen years’ sometimes difficult terrain.
