Unexpected life lessons in classic children’s stories

A good story can sweep us off our feet, take us to faraway lands, change our world views, or even teach us a lesson or two about life. Children’s stories and fairy tales, in particular, invite us to imagine a world beyond the one we live in, with wizards, queens, knights, beasts, flying carpets, and talking animals. In medieval times, fairy tales were coded with messages to preserve the values and beliefs of that society through the ages. While some of the lessons and morals we picked up from the Grimm Brothers may not have aged well, they remain subject to interpretation, as do stories from Indigenous oral tradition. Hidden within some of the most celebrated children’s stories in history are complex life lessons that continue to resonate with audiences from ages 8 to 88. From the cautionary tale of surrendering one’s voice in Disney’s The Little Mermaid to the life-saving power of storytelling in Islamic culture’s Arabian Nights, fairy tales and fables carry infinite wisdom for those from all walks of life. Read on to uncover the life lessons and unexpected messages in children’s stories.
