The language children hear is too often one of hate, anger, and prejudice. Corbilina, a little fairy, teaches children a valuable lesson by introducing them to another language—one of compassion and kindness. This language is called heart language. In this story, Corbilina, who has no voice, shows a young child and her grandmother how kindness transforms sadness whenever you listen with respect. Children learn how actions, not just words, demonstrate compassion. Corbilina encourages kindness to the environment by leaving heart shapes in nature, which remind children and adults to value Planet Earth. Children will not only enjoy the story but will engage their imaginations when they answer creative questions at the end of the story. These questions open the door for conversations to build self-esteem and to encourage greater awareness and concern for the needs of others.

The linking of age and ill-health is part of a cultural narrative of decline as age is often defined as the absence of good health. Research has shown that we are aged by culture, but we are also culturally made ill when we age. The cultural ambiguity of aging can thus deconstruct negative images of old age as physical decrepitude. This volume investigates the topic of health within the matrix of time and experience by addressing issues such as how our understanding of health influences our notion of agency within a subversive deconstruction of normative age concepts, and what role the notion of health plays in such an interaction.
