It’ll change colors and help guide us while we look.” **Page 4:** Together, Flicker and Pia walked through the village, following the colorful glow of Flicker’s changing hair. They searched through gardens, under trees, and near the market stalls. **Page 5:** Just when they thought the supplies were lost for good, they heard a noise from behind a nearby bush. **Page 6:** Out stepped a young boy named Prickle, carrying bags full of supplies. Flicker’s hair turned yellow as she began to think. **Prickle:** “I’m so sorry! I didn’t know these belonged to you, Pia. I thought they were left for anyone to use.” **Page 7:** Flicker smiled warmly and said, “There’s enough for all of us. Why don’t we share?” **Page 8:** Pia and Prickle agreed, and they divided the supplies, laughing and chatting as they worked together. **Page 9:** Flicker’s hair glowed a bright, cheerful green, showing her happiness as her friends came together and shared what they had. **Page 10:** From that day on, whenever someone needed help, Flicker used her color-changing hair to bring people together, always showing kindness with her unique gift.

It was a crisp October day, I woke up to the other dogs whining as the shelter workers let us all out of our kennels. Yes! Freedom! I ran so fast to the playroom to play with my friends! Today was going to be a big day - I can feel it! I played for hours and hours, until I had to have a nap. After lunch I saw two humans walk in and sit on the floor. Everyone crowded around them, jumping on them. Get yourself together guys I thought. I quietly walked over and sat by the mans huge feet. I knew the drill, people visited us all the time and had a few cuddles. As I sat watching the commotion of Simba getting silly all over this ladies lap. I met eyes with the lady human, she immediately picked me up. My legs were dangling and I thought jeez lady I just had breakfast. I stared into her and she stared back, she said "its you, your the one." I said to myself ok lady, do you have food or a ball? The lady stood up and talked with a shelter worker, she came back and said "I'm going to be your new Mom" and I thought "Mom?." She said she would be back, she came back with a new collar and name tag with the name "Koda."
