  • Crafting Family Legends Under the Stars
    Ilan highlights that every good story has a "beginning, middle, and an end," with relatable characters. Key elements include a hero, a challenge, and a meaningful takeaway. Stargazing offers families a chance to craft their own legends, encouraging children to dream and narrate tales inspired by the stars. Ilan invites families to embrace storytelling as a way to connect.
