A Bestie for the Restie

Honesty Watercolor style

A heartwarming tale of Lila Ray, a curious and loving five-year-old, who discovers the true meaning of friendship and honesty in Mississippi. Lila Ray befriends an unloved woman, Miss Eliza, and together they navigate through misunderstandings and obstacles to build a friendship based on trust.

Lila Ray lived in a small town in Mississippi. One sunny day, she heard about Miss Eliza, the lonely lady who lived at the end of the street. Lila's curiosity sparked, and she thought, 'Maybe she needs a friend!' But everyone said Miss Eliza didn't trust anyone.

Lila Ray decided to visit Miss Eliza, but when she knocked on the door, Miss Eliza didn't open it. Lila felt sad and wondered why. She sat on the porch, thinking about how to make Miss Eliza feel better.

Every day, Lila brought little gifts to Miss Eliza's door. Once, it was a drawing; another time, it was a cookie. But the gifts disappeared without a word of thanks. Lila began to feel discouraged and wondered if Miss Eliza would ever be her friend.

Lila started to doubt if Miss Eliza wanted a friend at all. She thought about giving up. - Maybe she just doesn't like me, Lila sighed to her teddy bear.

One morning, Lila found a note on her doorstep. It said, 'Thank you for the gifts, they mean a lot.' Lila's heart leaped with joy. She realized Miss Eliza did notice her kindness. - I must keep trying, Lila told herself.

Lila visited Miss Eliza again with a big smile and a friendship bracelet. This time, Miss Eliza opened the door and smiled back. They talked and shared stories. Lila learned that being honest and kind can build beautiful friendships.
