We Need More Pinocchio Stories!

It’s about way more than lies being bad
Yet, we are wise to remember that lies of all sizes and orientations break healthy connections between people.

Pinocchio stories show how important it is to be real
As well as the perseverance it takes to be real in a world where fake is the dangerous norm.

Pinocchio stories also show how dangerous escapism is to being real
When we expend our energy on escapism, the world crumbles around us - and nothing could be more sad, because the world needs us.
