Kindergarten day is here! 蘇莯涵's tummy feels full of fluttery butterflies. By the front door, the little red backpack waits, and 蘇莯涵 takes one big, brave breath.
At the gate, 蘇莯涵's lip wobbles a little — but the wave is big and brave. "Bye-bye, Mama!" The teacher opens her arms wide, warm as sunshine.
Look! The hook with the little red apple is 蘇莯涵's very own spot. Up on tiptoes — hup! — the jacket swings onto the hook. 蘇莯涵 did it all alone.
Circle time! Everyone sits in a cozy ring on the round rug. The teacher opens today's storybook, and 蘇莯涵 listens with great big eyes. What will happen next?
Painting time! 蘇莯涵's brush swirls and swirls — out comes a great big sun. A little dot of yellow lands right on 蘇莯涵's cheek. Oops — even the cheek is sunny now!
Snack time! Crunchy crackers, creamy milk — mmm, so yummy. 蘇莯涵's feet swing happily under the little chair. Munch, munch, crunch — this is the best snack ever.
On the playground, 蘇莯涵 climbs up, up, up the big red slide. Then — wheee! — down 蘇莯涵 zooms, hair flying, arms high in the air. Again, again!
Nap time. 蘇莯涵 lies down softly on the little mat and pulls up the cozy blanket. Shhh — eyes closed, breathing slow. Time for a tiny, tiny dream.
蘇莯涵 holds up the big painted sun — and everyone claps! The teacher claps, the friends clap, clap-clap-clap. 蘇莯涵 stands tall and proud as a sunflower.
Home time! "Goodbye, teacher! See you tomorrow!" 蘇莯涵 skips out through the gate into the golden afternoon. What a big, wonderful, brand-new day it was.
