What are souls?

A soul is like the special spark inside you that makes you you.

Imagine your body is like a toy robot, it can walk, talk, and laugh, but if you take out its battery, it stops working. Your soul is like that battery, it's what gives you life and helps you feel things, think, and dream.

What Does a Soul Do?

Your soul is the part of you that remembers your favorite games, feels happy when you win, or gets sad when you lose. It’s also the thing that lets you imagine new adventures, like flying to the moon in a spaceship made of cookies!

How Do We Know Souls Exist?

Think about when you’re playing with your friends and someone new joins the game. Even though they look different, they still know how to play because their soul understands the rules too.

Sometimes, when people grow up or go to sleep forever, they leave behind a little part of themselves, like leaving a note in a cookie jar for someone else to find later. That’s your soul saying goodbye and maybe coming back again someday!
