Lily loved to play. She loved to jump rope, swing high on the swings, and bounce her ball. One thing Lily did not like to do was run. "It's boring!" she'd groan whenever her mom suggested a jog in the park. "I'd rather stay home and read." One sunny afternoon, Lily was playing in her room. Her favorite pair of bright pink sneakers sat by the door just waiting to be worn. Suddenly, with a mischievous glint in their eyes, the sneakers hopped off the floor and skipped towards the window! Lily gasped. "My shoes! Stop!" she cried, but the sneakers were already out the window and were bouncing down the street. Lily raced after them, her heart pounding. She chased them down the sidewalk and around the corner until she was out of breath. "Come back!" she yelled, her voice echoing through the neighborhood. The sneakers, however, were having the time of their lives. They bounced past beautiful flower gardens, dodged around playful puppies, and they even slid down a hill. Lily, huffing and puffing, finally caught up to her runaway shoes. She scooped them up, feeling a strange tingling sensation in her legs. "You silly shoes! You can’t just run away! I don’t like to run and you made me chase you. You made me feel SO tired!" she said. Her mom, who had been watching from the window, chuckled. "Looks like you're having fun. Can I join you?” she asked. Lily, surprised by how much fun she was having running, decided to keep going and said “yes, let’s go”.

The smell of boiled crawfish filled the Louisiana kitchen, mixing with steam rising from the big silver pot. The wooden table was covered in newspaper, already stained with seasoning, and piled high with bright red crawfish, steaming potatoes, and golden corn. Gage sat on his knees, eyes wide as he stared at the mound of crawfish in front of him. His little brother wiggled in his high chair, smacking the tray while Daddy leaned back with a grin, beer in hand. Momma rolled up her sleeves. “Alright, cher, time to learn how to peel a crawfish.” Gage hesitated. “What if I mess up?” Momma laughed, grabbing a fat crawfish. “Ain’t no wrong way, long as you get the meat out. But I’ll show you the right way.” She held the crawfish up. “First, grab it where the head and tail meet—right here. Now twist.” With a quick motion, she popped off the head. “Some folks suck the head for the good juices.” Gage gagged. “Ew, no way!” Daddy chuckled. “More for me, then!” Momma shook her head, smiling. “Alright, suit yourself. Now, pinch the end of the tail, squeeze a little, and pull.” She slid out the perfect piece of meat and dipped it in butter. “See? Easy.” Gage copied her, his fingers fumbling at first—twist, pinch, pull. Out came the juicy meat. “I did it!” Momma clapped. “That’s my boy! Now try it.” He dipped it in the butter and took a bite. His face lit up. “Mmm! That’s good!” His little brother babbled, reaching for the pile. Daddy laughed. “Looks like we got another crawfish lover.” The kitchen filled with laughter as they peeled and ate, passing corn and potatoes around. Gage wiped his hands and reached for another. “Momma, I think I’m getting good at this.” Momma ruffled his hair. “Told you, cher. Crawfish season ain’t just about eatin’. It’s about family.” And that night, under the warm glow of their Cajun kitchen, Gage became a true crawfish peeler.

Celebrating Our Special Bodies Our bodies are special—they can move and play, Waving hello, giving hugs, and smiling all day. Your arms can stretch wide to share love and cheer, Your hands can clap, tap, and give a high five, my dear! Expressing Through Movement Look at your fingers: wiggle them slow, one, two, three— Count them out loud and set your kind spirit free. Jump, twirl, or tiptoe, let your body sing, Every move you make can make your heart ring. Emphasizing Gentle Movements But listen very close—there’s something you must know: Our bodies are for gentle moves, not for causing woe. Hitting, slapping, or pushing can hurt a friend’s heart, It makes their body hurt and tears their happy world apart. Hands Are Not For Hitting Imagine if someone hit you—ouch, that would sting! So let’s promise together, in a gentle, steady ring: “Hands, arms, and feet are for love and fun, Not for hurting others—no, not one!” Recognizing Big Feelings Sometimes you feel angry, sad, or even a bit scared, Maybe someone takes your toy, and you feel unprepared. When big feelings start to rise, here’s what you can do: Take a deep breath—in… and out… let it flow right through. Self-Soothing Strategies Clap your hands gently, tap your feet with care, Or squeeze a soft pillow—let your worries clear. Press your hands together like you’re giving yourself a hug, Count slowly with your fingers—feel calm, safe, and snug. Positive Ways to Use Your Hands Your hands are perfect for waving a bright hello, For drawing pretty pictures or making a paper bow. They’re great for a high five when a friend does something neat, Or giving a gentle pat to show that love is sweet. Kind Alternatives for Upset Moments When you’re feeling upset, try these kind things instead: Open your arms for a warm hug or tap out a beat with your head. If your anger grows, count your fingers—one by one, Then take another deep breath until your storm is done.
