"Sweet dreams, Tiger." I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling above my bed. Why had Mum's mantra from my childhood bedtimes entered my head? ✍️

And now for something different — because let’s face it: we need to unplug sometimes. Even if just for a few minutes.

I wrote a Short Story.
It’s called The Glass Hot-Air Balloon — and it’s now live!

🎙️📚 You can listen to it or read it: both in English & Italian.

Most of you probably know I’ve been helping my mom edit, translate, and produce the podcast for some wonderful children’s stories over the past few months.

But this one is a little different — it’s the first story I wrote entirely in my own style.

It’s short, but it carries a lot of meaning… and I hope it brings a little magic to whoever reads it — for themselves, their kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces, or anyone who still believes in a little enchantment.

Here’s how it begins:

"What a magnificent full moon!
Late April.
The San Fernando Valley shimmered gently.
Tiny lights flickered softly,
like electric fireflies in summer dreams.
In a small garden, beneath an old wise lemon tree,
something special was about to happen."

If you have a few minutes, give it a listen or a read.
Let me know what you think — I’d love to hear!

The Glass Hot-Air Balloon, By Marco Ciappelli (English Version)

Just told three kids (my best friend's brood) one of my patent-pending "boring bedtime stories" that contains almost no plot and way too much description and details, but it did not work with the three year old twins at all! Their older brother is asleep, and I think drifted off way before I finished. I've been making up these stories for him for years, but the twins were very invested in the frogs trying to get rid of the stork in their pond.
