Harrison's Day
Harrison, a curious preschooler who loves the color blue and school buses, must find the courage to face his fear of a big, friendly dog that blocks his way to the school bus stop.
Harrison loved his mornings in the suburbs of Minnesota, especially when he got to ride the big yellow school bus. But today was different. A new dog had moved in next door, and it was big and fluffy. Harrison was scared of dogs, and now this one blocked his path to the bus stop every morning. He really wanted to get on the bus, but the dog's wagging tail seemed like a giant obstacle. Harrison felt nervous as he peeked outside.
Harrison's mom held his hand as they walked to the bus stop. But the dog barked happily and ran over to greet them. Harrison jumped back, squeezing his mom's hand tightly. - I can't do it, Mom! he cried. The bus was coming, and his heart raced faster. Harrison felt frozen in place.
The next day, Harrison tried to be brave on his own. He took a deep breath and walked to the bus stop, but the dog was there again. This time, it wagged its tail even harder and barked louder. Harrison turned around and ran back home. - I'm never going to make it to the bus! he sighed to himself. He felt like he would never be able to do it.
Harrison sat on the porch, feeling defeated. He wished he could be as brave as his friends who loved dogs. His mom sat beside him, giving him a hug. - It's okay to be scared, she said softly. - Maybe the dog just wants to be friends. Harrison shook his head, unsure. He thought maybe he would never get to ride the bus again.
The next morning, Harrison's friend, Luna, came over. She loved dogs and wasn't afraid at all. - Come on, Harrison! Let's say hi together! she encouraged. Luna walked up to the dog and petted it gently. Harrison watched as the dog wagged its tail happily. Slowly, he took a step forward, feeling a bit braver.
Harrison took a deep breath and reached out to pet the dog. It licked his hand, making him giggle. - You're not so scary after all, Harrison said, smiling. With Luna by his side, they walked to the bus stop together. Harrison waved goodbye to the dog as he climbed onto the bus, feeling proud and brave. He couldn't wait for tomorrow's adventure.
