Red Dragon was a friendly, happy dragon who lived at the library. Red Dragon enjoyed being with the children who visited the library, but Red Dragon missed Orange Dragon, who was also a friendly, happy dragon. The Friends of the Library (two older women, silver haired, 70's, glasses, kind, happy faces) visited Red Dragon and said they will try to find Orange Dragon. The Friends of the Library did some research at the library and found out where Orange Dragon lived. The Friends of the Library sent a letter to Orange Dragon asking the dragon to come visit Red Dragon.

The Friends of the Library and Red Dragon were very happy! They decided that it might be time to give real names to the two dragons, and they asked the children of the library to help.

What are you doing here?" he called out to the bee. "Of course, I'm carrying honey!" the bee replied and flew away instantly. Efe was surprised. When he turned his head, he saw ladybugs drawing patterns on the flowers. He immediately closed his eyes and made a wish. His favorite toy should be his! When he opened his eyes, a grasshopper jumped out from between the blades of grass. It was such an energetic grasshopper that it kept jumping non-stop. Efe started jumping with it. When he got tired, he sat on some stones between two flowers to rest. What did he see? A colorful, wide-winged butterfly was dancing right beside him. The insects in this garden were so much fun!

I am Luca. I am four years old, and I just started Kindy. It is exciting, but also a little bit scary. There are so many new things—new teachers, new friends, and a big new playground! Every morning, my grown-up walks me to the Kindy room. Some days, I feel happy. Other days, I feel nervous and want to stay longer. When I feel worried, my tummy feels funny, and I want to cry. Mrs. Kubicek showed me the Zones of Regulation chart. She told me feeling worried is the blue zone, and that it is okay. To feel better, I can take deep breaths, press my hug button, or give a big hug before saying, “See you later!” When I miss my family, I remember that they love me always, and I will see them again soon when I get home. This helps me feel safe. When I get to the Kindy room, I put my bag, crunch and sip, and water bottle in their places. This helps me get ready for the day. Before Kindy starts, I can play with the trucks and puzzles. Sometimes, I do this with Mum or Dad before they say goodbye. That helps me feel braver. Recess and Lunch At recess, all the children go outside to eat and play. I feel nervous and stay near the wall. Mrs. Kubicek notices and says, “Luca, would you like to sit with Milani and Bodhi?” I nod. Milani and Bodhi smile and say, “Come sit with us!” That makes me feel good inside. I move into the green zone—calm and happy! Sometimes, I want to stay with Mrs. Kubicek at recess and lunch. But when she leaves, I feel sad. She reminds me that it is important to play with my friends. I take a deep breath, press my hug button, and find Milani and Bodhi. Once I start playing, I feel much better! At the end of the day, I pack my bag and sit on the mat. When I see my grown-up waiting, I run to give them a big hug. “How was your day?” they ask.I smile and say, “I played with Milani and Bodhi.” Each day, I feel a little braver. If I feel nervous, I can take deep breaths, press my hug button, or ask for help. Kindy is full of adventures, and I am ready for them all!

1: In the sparkling waters of Blue Wave Bay lived two dolphins, Spirit and Splash. Spirit was a little dolphin with a twinkle in her eye, always curious and eager to learn. Splash, her older brother, was strong, swift, and known as the best jumper in the whole bay. 2: One sunny morning, Spirit swam up to Splash. "Splash, can you teach me how to do tricks and jump like you?" she asked, her tail flipping with excitement. 3: Splash smiled and nodded. "Of course, little sister! But remember, it takes practice and patience. Let’s start with something easy—a spin!" 4: Splash leaped out of the water, twirling in the air like a silver ribbon. Spirit watched in awe, then tried her best. She leaped but only managed a wobbly twist before splashing back into the sea. 5: "That was great for a first try, Spirit !" Splash encouraged. "Now, let's keep practicing. Soon, you'll be spinning like a star!" 6: Spirit practiced every day, twirling and spinning until she felt dizzy. With each attempt, she got better and better. Splash was always there, cheering her on. 7: One day, Splash decided it was time for the big jump. "Are you ready to leap through the rainbow waves?" he asked. Spirit felt a flutter in her belly but nodded bravely. 8: Splash demonstrated a high, graceful jump, soaring through a colorful arch of water. Spirit took a deep breath and followed. She sprang from the sea, her heart racing, and for the first time, she cleared the rainbow waves! 9: As she landed back in the water, Spirit ’s eyes sparkled with joy. "I did it, Splash! I really did it!" 10: Splash swam up beside her, proud and happy. "You did, Spirit ! You worked hard, and now you're a true jumper!" 11: From that day on, Spirit and Splash spent their days performing tricks together, spinning, leaping, and playing in the waves. Spirit knew that with her brother by her side, she could do anything.
