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.

Page 1 Once there was a princess named Maya, so bright, With a heart full of kindness and eyes of delight. Each evening she’d gaze at the stars so high, Dreaming she’d join them and dance in the sky. Page 2 One magical night, a fairy appeared, With a sparkling wand and dress that cheered. She looked like Minnie Mouse!, so graceful and sweet, Her glow lit the room, what a magical treat! Page 3 “Dear Maya,” she said, “Your heart is so pure, And tonight is a night of magic for sure. Because you’re so good and you listen to Mommy and Daddy so well, I’ll grant you one wish; now, isn’t that swell?” Page 4 Maya’s wish was to dance with the stars, To twirl and to leap on the moon and Mars. “Close your eyes, my dear, and wish from your heart. Have faith in the magic, and soon it will start.” Page 5 With eyes tightly shut, Maya made her wish, A breeze filled the room, gentle and bright. She opened her eyes, and to her surprise, Two ballerina stars dancing before her eyes. Page 6 “Oh, Maya,” they said, “It’s a magical night, Your kind little heart has made this so right. We’ve come to dance and twirl with you, To make your dreams and wishes come true.” Page 7 The fairy waved her wand with care, And Maya’s dress became beyond compare. A ballerina’s gown, so lovely to see, Maya was ready, and happy as could be. Page 8 They danced and spun, so happy and free, Laughing and twirling, as bright as could be. Then, feeling tired, they sat down to rest, Above the stars, they felt so blessed. Page 9 The stars then said, “It’s time to go, The moon is high, with a gentle glow. We’ll brush our teeth, and have our snack, Then head to bed, and not look back.” Page 10 “But remember, dear Maya, we’ll always be near, Look to the sky, and we’ll appear. Dance by the window, we’ll twinkle and play, Forever with you, night after day.
