Notes

Book Contents

   • Introduces glyphs through tactile tracing and rhymed repetition.
   • First word is always the child’s own name, revealed slowly as they learn.

2. Chapter II – The Threefold Self

   • Uses playful imagery to teach the concept of Body, Soul, and Name.
   • Each “self” is personified as an animal: the Otter (Body), the Raven (Name), and the Foxfire (Soul).
