A sister that loses her brother to cancer

BOOK COVER Picture 1 Lia bounced onto the couch, holding up her fingers. “Mom! Only ten more days until my baptism! That’s like… forever! Can’t we just do it tomorrow?” Picture 2 Mom smiled and tucked a loose curl behind Lia’s ear. “I know you’re excited, sweetheart. Baptism is a special day! But remember, waiting isn’t just about counting days—it’s about preparing our hearts.” Picture 3 Lia sighed. “But I am ready! I’ve been ready since last week!” Picture 4 Mom chuckled. “Let’s read a story before bed. I think you’ll like this one.” Picture 5 Lia snuggled under her blanket as Dad opened the scriptures. “Did you know Jesus had to wait for something really special too?” he asked. Lia’s eyes widened. “Really? What?” Picture 6 Dad smiled. “His ministry! Jesus was twelve years old when He taught in the temple, but He didn’t start teaching people everywhere until He was thirty.” Picture 7 “Thirty?!” Lia sat up. “That’s so long!” Mom nodded. “But while He waited, He prepared. He learned, prayed, and listened to His Father in Heaven. When the time was right, He was ready.” Picture 8 Lia thought for a moment. “So… waiting isn’t just waiting?” Dad kissed her forehead. “Exactly. It’s about what we do while we wait.” Picture 9 The next morning, Lia woke up with a new thought. Picture 10 “What if I get extra ready for my baptism?” Picture 11 She helped her little brother tie his shoes. Picture 12 She listened carefully during family prayer. Picture 13 She even asked Grandma about her own baptism day. Picture 14 At bedtime, Lia grinned. “Mom, Dad! Only nine more days until my baptism… and I’m still getting ready!” Mom hugged her tight. “That’s the best kind of waiting, Lia. Jesus is so proud of you.” Picture 15 Lia closed her eyes, her heart full. Baptism was still days away, but she already felt closer to Jesus.

In a forest, there was a village inhabited by many animals that worked together. In the village lived a diligent tortoise named “Kiki,” who always helped his parents' work, whether by selling vegetables or helping to pick vegetables in the fields. He had been so active until one day, he got bored of his routine, and got blue feelings at the same time because of the Cici's swear. “If I was you, I'd rather swap bodies with me so I can fly and take to the skies!” cursed the raven who didn't know the origin of its name. He was very sad when he remembered that he could not see the beauty of the world, the beautiful colors, or the sky that people said was blue, because Kiki had been blind since he had been a baby. When he tried to tell his friend Lulu, Lulu took Michii to see Kiki’s mother and asked for permission to go to the next village festival the following day. The next day, Kiki was still feeling sad, but he was surprised and happy when Lulu took him to enjoy lots of delicious snacks at other village’s festival. Kiki was happy. Kiki said that the world was beautiful and that they had to move forward with their hopes, such as the hope of being able to try other delicious snack variants in the future.

Imoni sat on the couch, her fingers poking at her mouth. “Daddy, my tooth is wiggly!” she said, Her daddy, Arthur, smiled and knelt beside her. “That’s exciting, sweetheart!  Let me see.” Imoni opened her mouth wide, and Daddy gently touched the tooth. “Yup, it’s ready to come out soon. You just have to keep wiggling it. “But what if it hurts?” Imoni asked, her voice trembling a little. Arthur sat down beside her and pulled her close. “Sometimes things that seem scary aren’t so bad when we trust the people who love us. Don’t worry. When the time is right, we’ll take care of it together.”  “Daddy, my tooth feels so loose now!” Arthur looked at her and said, “I think it’s time to  help that tooth come out. Can you get me a piece of string from the drawer?” Imoni’s eyes grew wide. “String? What for?” “We’ll tie it to your tooth and give it a quick pull.” Arthur explained gently. Imoni hesitated. “But what if it hurts, Daddy?  Arthur knelt down to her level. “I know you’re scared, sweetheart. But trust me, I’ll be gentle, and it’ll only take a second. You’re so brave, and I’ll be right here with you.” Imoni looked into her daddy’s kind eyes. She took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, Daddy. I trust you.” Arthur carefully tied the string around Imoni’s loose tooth. “Ready, sweetheart?” he asked. Imoni squeezed her eyes shut and held her daddy’s hand. “Ready,” she whispered. “On the count of three,” Arthur said. “One… two…” Before he got to three, he gave a quick tug, and the tooth popped right out! Imoni opened her eyes. “Wait… is it out?” Arthur held up the tiny tooth. “It’s out! You did it, Imoni!” Imoni touched the gap in her mouth and smiled. “It didn’t even hurt!” she said, giggling. “I told you,” Arthur said, hugging her. “Sometimes, trusting someone makes all the difference. "That night, Imoni placed her tiny tooth under her pillow and climbed into bed. She felt proud and brave. Arthur kissed her forehead. “Goodnight, my brave girl. I’m so proud of you.”

Little wom Wiggles has to find his way back home.

1. Once upon a time, in a cozy little house, lived a friendly boy named Timmy and his magical toothbrush, Sparkle. 2. Every morning, Sparkle and Timmy would get up and start their day with a big yawn. Sparkle loved to shine and keep Timmy’s teeth clean and bright! 3. One day, Timmy asked Sparkle, "Why do we need to brush our teeth twice a day?" 4. Sparkle smiled and said, "Great question, Timmy! We brush our teeth in the morning to get rid of germs and food from the night. This helps us start the day with a fresh and clean smile!" 5. Timmy was curious, so he asked, "What about before bed? Why is that important?" 6. Sparkle twinkled and explained, "Brushing before bed is super important because it helps remove all the germs and food that stick to your teeth during the day. If we don’t brush before sleeping, those germs can cause cavities and make your teeth unhappy." 7. Timmy nodded and said, "So, brushing twice a day keeps my teeth healthy and happy!" 8. Sparkle said, "Exactly! And remember, it only takes a few minutes each time to keep your smile bright and strong." 9. From that day on, Timmy brushed his teeth with Sparkle every morning and every night, making sure his smile was always fresh and happy. 10. And so, Timmy and Sparkle lived happily ever after, with a bright, clean smile and healthy teeth.

A young girl sloth goes on a big adventure after becoming bored at home

After the forest race, Thorn, Fluffy, and Andryusha became inseparable friends, always dreaming of new adventures. One day, they found an announcement about an upcoming car race. Excited, they decided to join, but there was a problem — they had no car. Andryusha suggested asking his grandpa, a great mechanic. Grandpa listened and smiled, "Well, let's build your race car!" He led them to his old garage, filled with parts and tools. Thorn, Fluffy, and Andryusha eagerly got to work. They worked every day, assembling parts. Thorn was a skilled craftsman, precisely fitting parts despite his prickly quills. Fluffy handled small parts with his soft paws. Andryusha oversaw the project, helping wherever needed. After weeks of hard work, the car was ready. It was bright red with big wheels and a powerful engine. They named it "Friendship" because their bond made it possible. Finally, race day arrived. On the starting line were many cars: sporty racers, big trucks, and other homemade ones. Thorn took the wheel, Fluffy sat beside him, and Andryusha was in the back with tools, just in case. The signal sounded, and they sped off! Thorn steered confidently, with Fluffy guiding him and Andryusha ready for anything. The road was tough — tight turns, narrow bridges, and steep hills. At one turn, their car skidded, and a tire burst. They pulled over, and Andryusha quickly replaced the tire with help from his friends. Despite the delay, they pressed on. Soon, they saw Brownie the bear, whose car was stuck in a ditch. Thorn stopped, and they helped push the car out. Brownie was grateful and promised to remember their kindness. On the final stretch, Brownie, moved by their help, let them pass. They crossed the finish line first, greeted by cheers. Winning felt great, but the friends knew that the real victory was in supporting each other and helping others. Their car "Friendship" became a symbol of their strong bond. After the race, they returned to their usual lives
