About this listen

In a quiet garden, a rose feels plain among her companions—until she discovers a mirror that reflects not petals, but truth. In its surface she sees that her value comes not from outward perfection, but from the kindness and joy she brings to others.

The Rose and the Mirror is a poetic children’s story and reflective parable for all ages. It teaches children that self-worth is not measured by comparison but by the love and light they share. A tender tale that encourages positive self-image, empathy, and confidence, perfect for bedtime listening, family reflection, and classroom discussion.
