Mello was excited but nervous. It was his first day at a new school, and he hoped to make friends. As he walked into the classroom, he noticed something right away—he was the only Black student. The other kids glanced at him but didn’t say anything. Mello took a deep breath and sat quietly. He wasn’t sure if anyone would talk to him, but he knew he had to try. At recess, Mello saw a group of kids playing soccer. He loved soccer, but he was unsure if they’d let him join. Gathering his courage, he walked over and asked, “Can I play too?” The kids exchanged glances. “Where are you from?” asked Tristan. “I’m from a different school,” Mello replied. “But I love soccer, just like you.” Skylar looked at him and said, “We’ve never had a friend like you before.” Mello smiled and said, “That’s okay! I’ve never had friends like you either. We can learn from each other.” There was a pause, then Tristan passed him the ball. “Sure! Let’s play!” As they played, Mello felt his nervousness fade. He dribbled, passed, and even scored! The kids were laughing and playing together, and Mello realized it didn’t matter that he looked different—what mattered was that they were having fun. After the game, Skylar told Mello, “You’re really good! I’m glad you played with us.” Later, back in class, the teacher noticed Mello looking unsure. She walked over and said, “If you ever need help or want to talk, I’m here for you.” Mello smiled, feeling grateful to have a trusted adult in the classroom. The next day, the teacher led a discussion about kindness and making everyone feel welcome. Tristan suggested, “We could ask more questions to get to know new students.” Skylar added, “We can learn from each other’s differences.” Mello realized that being different wasn’t something to hide—it made him special. His new friends saw that their differences made them stronger together. In the end, Mello knew that being unique wasn’t just okay—it was beautiful.

Once upon a time in the heart of the jungle, there lived a clever and mischievous black monkey named Max. Max was known for his quick wit and playful tricks, but sometimes his pranks went too far. One sunny day, Max decided to sneak into the jungle’s biggest banana orchard. The bananas were the juiciest and most delicious in the entire jungle, and Max couldn’t resist. He grabbed as many as he could, stuffing them into his cheeky little paws. But, just as he was about to make his escape, the orchard keeper spotted him! “Stop right there, Max!” yelled the orchard keeper, a wise old elephant named Ellie. “You’re stealing from me again! You’re going to jail for this!” Max’s eyes widened in fear. He knew he was in trouble, but he wasn’t about to let Ellie catch him so easily. In a flash, Max dashed through the jungle, but Ellie was quick. She caught him and locked him inside a sturdy cage at the jungle’s jail. Max sat in the cage, feeling a little scared and guilty. But, being the clever monkey he was, he didn’t stay down for long. As he looked around, he noticed something special in his pocket – a single, ripe banana. It seemed small, but Max had an idea. “I may be locked up, but I won’t give up,” he thought, smiling slyly. With his sharp teeth, he quickly peeled the banana and used the peel to carefully slip through the small cracks of the cage. It took time, but Max was patient. Finally, with a little wiggle and a lot of determination, Max managed to break free! As Max scampered out of the cage, he heard Ellie approaching, but by then, he was already far away, laughing at his own cleverness. He learned a valuable lesson that day. No matter how tough life gets, there’s always a way out if you don’t give up. The Moral of the Story: Never give up, even when things seem impossible. With clever thinking and determination, you can always find a way to overcome challenges.

It points high into the sky. “Pharaoh Khufu built this long ago,” says Rami. “Our people believe the pharaoh is very important.” Page 5 Inside the pyramid, they see stone walls covered with hieroglyphs, the ancient Egyptian way of writing. Pictures of birds, eyes, and shapes tell stories about the pharaoh’s life.

In a cozy bathtub lived a family of four rubber ducks. The mother, Sparkle, was a sparkly-sassy duck who always shined bright and loved to dance on the water's surface. Father Quill, the wise and prepared duck, always had a plan and a kind word of advice. Their eldest, Quester, was an inquisitive and passionate girl, always asking questions and diving deep to explore the tub's depths. The youngest, Giggles, was a goofy, quiet duck who loved making everyone laugh with his silly antics. One bubbly morning, Sparkle declared, “Let’s have a quacking adventure to the far end of the tub!” Quill, ever the planner, had packed a tiny backpack with floaties, snacks, and a tiny rubber map. Quester quacked excitedly, "What’s over there? Are there more bubbles? Is there a soap waterfall?" Giggles just giggled, already making funny faces at his reflection. As they paddled along, they encountered the dreaded Soap Sud Monster, who turned out to be a friendly lump of bubbles. Quester tried to interview the monster, but Giggles kept making it laugh with his impersonation of a squeaky toy. They then found the legendary Rubber Duck Island, which was just a soap dish, but they pretended it was a majestic fortress. The family had a bubble fight, with Sparkle twirling and Quill getting hilariously stuck in a soap ring. Quester discovered a “treasure” of bath beads, which she declared to be magical pearls. Giggles tried to juggle them but ended up making everyone slip and slide in a fit of laughter.
