fictitious concept
💡 Concept

a grandmother sits in a rocking chair telling an elaborate story with animated gestures while holding a storybook. Her hands move dramatically as she describes fantastical creatures and magical kingdoms that clearly don't exist in real life. The children sitting cross-legged around her listen with wide eyes and amazed expressions as they imagine dragons and fairy castles. Their faces show they understand these wonderful characters and places are completely made up. Other kids in the background peek over from nearby reading tables, drawn to the obviously invented tale. stories that are not real or true, existing only in imagination and completely made up
