Empathy & Wisdom with Lila and the Time Library

When 9-year-old Lila discovers a mysterious library hidden behind an old bookshop, she becomes the newest “Page Keeper” — able to travel through time by reading from magical books. Each book takes her to a different moment in history or future possibility. But these aren’t just adventures — they’re life lessons written into time.

With a glowing bookmark and a set of enchanted glasses, Lila learns that each chapter changes her, and each journey reveals something about kindness, courage, empathy, and wisdom.
