for your Preschooler.
Queen Neena tiptoed through her garden. The fountain sparkled and whispered, “Hello!” She smiled but felt a small flutter in her tummy.
But the golden flower was not there. She saw only a circle of soft dirt. “Where did my flower go?” she asked.
Frostyline Fable waddled in with a big smile. “Sometimes it’s okay to feel worried,” he said. “We don’t have to fix it all at once!”
Queen Neena hugged her arms. “I feel nervous about the dark,” she whispered. The night sky felt so big.
The fountain chimed, “You are safe here.” The moonlight made the water dance. Drip-drop, drip-drop!
Frostyline Fable noticed Queen Neena’s big feelings. “We can share our worries,” he said. “We can hold hands, too.”
Queen Neena took a deep breath. “I feel a little braver,” she said. “But I’m still a bit scared.”
“We can hum a silly tune!” Frostyline Fable cheered. He sang, “La-la-la, glimmer and glow!”
