The photographs (you can slide the arrows to see them in full, as well as the close-ups of these adorable babies), which Parents magazine echoed, were taken by hospital staff and published on their Instagram account, reaching right away the thousand likes. The publication was preceded by a beautiful text in which it could be read:

"These munchkins (the name of the dwarf characters in the movie) from West Penn Hospital are celebrating the 80th anniversary of" The Wizard of Oz. "What we want for our patients is that they dare to dream, and all their dreams come true reality". Tell us, which character in "The Wizard of Oz" is your favorite? "

I recognize that I love to see newborns dressed up in such a tender and fun way; and more when it is done with the intention of sharing joy during a hospital admission. They look so cute that it is impossible to resist the sweetness and peace that they transmit their delicate gestures, their faces and their poses.

And if in addition, they are complemented with costumes as funny and well achieved as these, the result is really touching. There is no doubt that the hospital staff that has woven them are true artists, because there is no lack of detail! What do you say about the Toto puppy embroidered in Dorothy's costume? Or the funny mane of the lion? And the sheets in the cribs simulating the path of yellow tiles? A waste of creativity!

An excellent movie to watch with children and talk about the values ​​it transmits

The 80th anniversary of this great movie can be the perfect excuse to see it again accompanied by our children. From an adult perspective we will appreciate the great life lessons that history leaves us, and that we can discuss with the children, who will also enjoy magic, fantasy and good music.

But, What will our children learn by watching "The Wizard of Oz"? We wanted to make a brief reflection that could help us to focus on the messages that this story conveys, and which are:

  • The importance of not being influenced by others and being ourselves
  • The value of resilience or how to deal with adversities
  • Friendship and teamwork
  • The importance of being happy with what we have and appreciating what life gives us every day
  • Fight for our dreams

Before embarking on his trip to the land of Oz, the tin man hoped to find a heart, the scarecrow a brain and the lion, courage. That is, they sought to become something they assumed was what others expected to find in them. Or put another way, they carried a label that damaged their self-esteem, and did not let them discover who they really were.

But little by little, as they go on their journey and overcome the difficulties of the road, the three friends face their own fears, help each other in teamwork and end up realizing that they are much more powerful than they thought.

Because the true power is in ourselves, and it is important to show children that if they propose it, they will be able to be what they want to be, over stereotypes and what others insist on making them believe.

And in addition to this important reflection that the film leaves us, Dorothy's character invites us to dream and fight for our dreams, but without losing sight of the path we travel daily, and appreciating the small and rich nuances of our lives, which we sometimes tend to forget.

In short, "The Wizard of Oz" is a real treasure that is worthwhile for children to discover (either through film or literature, through the book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by Frank Baum), and that We have taken the opportunity to remember on its 80th anniversary.
