The Kid Who Wants Everyone to Like Them
Bright Morning
Milo woke up early, determined to find a way to make all the friends smile. He packed a basket of cookies and set out to the school playground. At the corner, he met Lila, the shy girl who rarely spoke. Milo offered her a cookie and said, "Would you like to join me?" She nodded quietly, a slight smile brightening her face. From that moment, the day felt filled with new possibilities.

A Helping Hand
During recess, Milo saw Tom crying because he had lost his favorite baseball cap. Milo offered to help search, using his flashlight. Together they looked behind the tall oak tree, under the slide, and in the sandbox. Finding the cap, they handed it back to Tom, who laughed and thanked them with an enthusiastic hug. Milo felt proud, realizing that kindness could change a friend’s whole day.

A Bright Idea
Milo asked his teacher for suggestions on how to keep friends even when they are far. The teacher suggested creating a friendship card that would tell everyone how much they are loved. Milo started writing little messages of joy on small pieces of paper and tied ribbons to them. He then sent each card to the children in Lila’s house, hoping to bring them warmth back into their home.
