A tender tale of friendship and courage, where shadow and mystery guide two children into the deep, unseen parts of the psyche.
When two unlikely friends—Milagro, wild and intuitive, and Niels, careful and precise—discover an old house hiding at the edge of town, they step into a world full of strange rooms, flickering shadows, and silent stories waiting to be understood.
Guided only by their bond and their instincts, the children explore the rooms of the House of Shadows: one roaring with rage, another spinning with restlessness, others full of hidden hunger or fragile silence. As they journey deeper, a quiet presence begins to follow them. A shadow. Growing, waiting.
But some shadows don’t want to scare you. They only want to be known.
Rooted in Jungian psychology but written with the poetic tenderness of a classic children’s fable, Niels, Milagro and the House of Shadows is both a luminous story for young readers and a deeply symbolic tale for grown-ups who remember what it means to meet your inner world with compassion.
Perfect for:
- Parents and children looking for meaningful stories to read together
- Jungians seeking a visual, tender way to introduce archetypes and inner processes to children
- Therapists and educators exploring emotional literacy, shadow work, or integration
- Anyone who believes stories can help us understand ourselves
A timeless journey of wonder, shadow, and light—told with gentleness, mystery, and the kind of beauty that lingers.
