A story about Getting a New Sister
for your 2nd Grader.
Zippy Zapata lived in the Valley of Dreams, where the stars shone like tiny lanterns. He loved to solve puzzles and waved his magic wand at every new problem. One day, he discovered exciting news—he was getting a new sister!
“Bawk, bawk!” sang Cluckster, his noisy white chicken. She flapped her wings with joy when she heard the news. But Zippy felt both happy and nervous. Would he be a good big brother?
That night, Zippy followed a glowing signpost pointing toward the heart of the Valley of Dreams. He heard it might lead to ancient magic that could help him learn about being a big brother.
With each step, Zippy hummed a brave tune under the starry sky. He hoped the old stories were true. There was a hidden Sibling Scroll that shared the secrets of kindness, patience, and love.
Cluckster bounced behind him, pecking at tiny pebbles on the path. She burst into song whenever she felt Zippy worrying. “Bawk-bawk-BOOM!” she clucked, hoping to cheer him up.
A small rabbit told them that a shimmering lily nearby might show them the correct way. The lily petals shone so brightly that they almost looked alive.
Zippy listened carefully to the rabbit who advised him that new siblings often need gentle help and warm hugs. “Try sharing games,” the rabbit said, “and always speak kindly when she cries.” Zippy felt more confident now.
Cluckster twirled around, singing silly tunes about baby sisters and magic wands. Her peppy spirit made Zippy laugh and forget his worries for a moment.
