The Magic Scale That Couldn't Balance: A Picture Book About Unfairness That Young Children Actually Need (Trilingual Edition) (The Little Witch’s Inner World)

Unfairness doesn't only happen to grown-ups. Young children feel it too, deeply, and often without the words to say so. And when they cannot make sense of what happened, they are quick to wonder: Was it my fault? Am I not good enough?

When unfairness strikes, what children truly need is not to be told to endure it, suppress it, or hurry up and forgive.

The Magic Scale That Couldn't Balance gently walks alongside children as they learn to name what they feel, find the courage to speak up, and make room for the discomfort in their hearts — because the most powerful thing a child can discover is their own strength in spite of unfairness.

No guilt trips. No forced forgiveness. Just the quiet courage that grows when we are finally heard.

Written for young children, and for the adults beside them, for anyone who has ever been hurt by unfairness and is still finding their way back to themselves, one small step at a time.
