A story about Valentine's Day
for your 2nd Grader.
Willow Charms woke up early on Valentine’s Day. She peeked out her cottage window and saw the glow-in-the-dark mushrooms shining in the morning light. She couldn’t wait to celebrate with her friends and family.
Zibloo arrived in his tiny spaceship, wiggling his antennae with excitement. He loved the twinkling stars in the sky. “Happy Valentine’s Day!” he squeaked, hopping on one foot.
They hurried to the village square to see the Heart-Star, a magical gem that made everyone feel loved. But it looked dull and gray, like a cloudy stone. Willow Charms felt worry creep into her heart.
Willow Charms tapped her wand and sighed. “We have to find a way to bring back its sparkle,” she whispered. She remembered how the Heart-Star once glowed with bright pink light each Valentine’s Day.
Zibloo rubbed his eyes and pointed toward the forest. “Maybe there’s a clue among the tall cedar trees,” he said. He bounced on his tiptoes, ready to help.
They passed giant, glowing mushrooms that hummed like soft bells. Willow Charms guessed they held special magic that could guide them. She brushed their sparkly spots and felt a little jolt of courage.
Willow Charms paused to share a friendly tip. “When you lose something important, it helps to talk it out with someone you trust,” she said. Her voice was gentle, and her heart felt hopeful.
Zibloo bent down, studying tiny footprints on the ground. “Look at these tracks,” he whispered. “They might lead us to the missing light!” He wiggled his antennae in excitement.
