Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs

Reach for this classic tale when your child is processing feelings of jealousy or wondering why some people can be unkind without provocation.

Parents can use this story to discuss the concept of inner versus outer beauty and the importance of discernment when trusting strangers. This original Brothers Grimm version is a foundational fairy tale that introduces children to the battle between good and evil. It follows Snow White as she escapes a vengeful stepmother and builds a life of mutual care with seven industrious dwarfs. While it contains moments of peril, the story ultimately rewards kindness and loyalty, making it a powerful tool for building emotional resilience and discussing complicated family dynamics in a metaphorical setting.
