The first ride without training wheels
The wobbliest ride there is. Stabilisers, if you grew up in England.
Wobbly Post
A letter on paper, from someone small and kind, for the days a child is being brave. Posted, stamped, and meant to be read aloud by a grown-up sitting on the edge of the bed. Nothing that needs a screen.
Delivering now
Twenty tiny letters for twenty wobbly teeth, a calendar for the very first one, and a real letter by post for any tooth at all. Every letter comes from Toothfairy Land, a seaside country where teeth are planted and grow into lanterns, bridges and trees, printed so small it can only be read through a little glass dome.
Every childhood has a handful of days when the ground feels less solid than usual. We are writing for them, one at a time.
The wobbliest ride there is. Stabilisers, if you grew up in England.
A letter in the lunchbox or under the pillow the night before, for a new classroom and a new coat peg.
For a first sleepover, a first camp, a first night at a grandparent's: something small to read before the lights go out.
For the child who has just become a big sister or a big brother, and is not entirely sure about it yet.
For the last night in the old room and the first night in the new one. The fairies know how to find a new window.
Arm bands off, toes in, and a letter waiting at home about being brave in the deep end.
Screens are wonderful for a great many things. They are no good at all at being found under a pillow, or tucked in a lunchbox, or kept in a shoebox for thirty years. A letter you can hold, a stamp somebody chose because it was pretty, and a grown-up's voice slowing down at the good bits: that is the whole idea.

For the grown-ups
It floats in the corner of every page. If a small person wanders up while you are reading about how the tooth fairy actually works, tap it. The whole site turns into the dullest page in the Land, and stays that way even if they refresh.
To come back, press and hold the acorn for three seconds, or tap it once and type the word acorn. Small people rarely have the patience. On a keyboard, Escape hides the site too.
