    Alice and the Land of Maybe - By Marina Colagrossi (Extended Version for Bigger Kids)

    Alice lived in a world where love was always a "maybe." Maybe someone would hug her. Maybe someone would listen. Maybe—just maybe—someone would notice the big feelings she carried inside. When the love around her felt uncertain, Alice built a place in her imagination where love was always safe and sure: the Land of Maybe. In this dream-world, families smiled easily, friends never forgot you, and a glowing star named Sol reminded Alice every day: You matter. I see you. I love all the parts of you. As Alice grew older, something began to shift. The Land of Maybe didn’t shine as brightly. Then she met Theo—a real-life friend who was steady, kind, and present. He didn’t sparkle like a dream, but he stayed. And slowly, Alice began to learn what love could feel like when it didn’t make you guess. Alice and the Land of Maybe is a gentle, emotionally rich story about what happens when a child grows up with inconsistent love—and how they learn, over time, to accept something safer, steadier, and real. This book is for children and adult children who have found comfort in imagination, and for the grown-ups helping them feel safe in the world, this story is a quiet celebration of healing, trust, and the bravery it takes to believe in real love.

    Alice and the Land of Maybe - By Marina Colagrossi (Original Version for Smaller Kids)

    Alice’s house didn’t always feel safe or loving. Some days were quiet, others were full of noise—but not the happy kind. So Alice made a special place in her mind called the Land of Maybe, where love was always gentle, hugs were always ready, and someone always saw her. In the Land of Maybe, Alice felt safe. She had a glowing star friend named Sol who reminded her how special she was. But as Alice got older, she met someone real—someone kind, who stayed, who listened, and who made her feel safe without pretending. Alice and the Land of Maybe is a gentle story about big feelings, imagination, and learning that real love—quiet, steady, everyday love—can be the most magical love of all.
