I Am Amazing
Mya, a confident 10-year-old girl with curly hair, faces the challenge of being new in her Seattle school. As she navigates the difficulties of making friends and fitting in, Mya must find the courage to overcome her fear of performing in the school talent show. Will her confidence be enough to shine through and prove to everyone, including herself, that she truly is amazing?
Mya had just moved to Seattle, and today was her first day at her new school. She was excited but also a bit nervous. The big school building loomed in front of her like a giant puzzle waiting to be solved. Mya's biggest worry was making friends and fitting in. " - What if nobody likes me?" Mya whispered to herself.
As Mya walked into the classroom, she noticed groups of kids chatting happily. They all seemed to know each other already. Mya felt a little lost and unsure of where to sit. Her teacher, Mr. Thompson, smiled warmly at her as she entered. " - Welcome, Mya! Why don't you take a seat next to Emma?" he suggested.
Mya's first obstacle appeared during recess. She spotted a group playing hopscotch and wanted to join. As she approached, her heart raced. " - Can I play too?" she asked shyly. The kids exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond. " - Maybe later," one of them said hesitantly.
At lunch, Mya decided to sit alone. The cafeteria was buzzing with chatter and laughter, making her feel even more alone. She watched as other kids shared snacks and stories. " - I just need to be brave," she thought to herself. The challenge of making friends seemed bigger than she had imagined.
The next day, a talent show was announced. Mya loved singing and saw this as a chance to make friends. But the thought of singing in front of everyone was terrifying. " - What if I mess up?" she wondered. The fear of failure made her heart pound.
Mya practiced singing in her room every night. She wanted to be perfect for the talent show. But each time she imagined the audience, her voice wavered. " - I can't do this," she told herself one evening. The fear of judgment was overwhelming.
As the talent show approached, Mya's confidence wavered. She decided to write a note to her parents, expressing her doubts. " - What if I never make friends?" she wrote. But as she folded the note, she felt a small spark of determination.
On the day of the talent show, Mya almost didn't go to school. She felt a heavy weight in her chest. " - Maybe it's better not to try," she thought. But then she remembered her favorite song about courage. The lyrics echoed in her mind.
Mya's breakthrough came during lunch when she met a girl named Zara. Zara had also moved recently and understood Mya's fears. " - It's okay to be scared," Zara said kindly. " - We can face our fears together," Mya replied, feeling a little braver.
With Zara by her side, Mya felt a surge of confidence. " - Let's practice together after school," Zara suggested. Mya nodded eagerly, feeling her courage return. They planned a fun duet that would showcase their talents. The excitement was building.
The night of the talent show arrived, and Mya was still nervous. But Zara's presence gave her strength. " - We can do this," Zara whispered as they took the stage. Mya took a deep breath, ready to face her fears.
Mya sang her heart out, feeling the music flow through her. The audience cheered and clapped, filling her with joy. For the first time, Mya felt truly amazing. " - We did it!" she exclaimed to Zara after their performance.
After the show, many kids came up to congratulate Mya. Suddenly, she was surrounded by new friends. " - You were incredible!" one of them said. Mya's heart swelled with happiness.
Mya realized that courage wasn't about not being scared. It was about facing your fears and trying anyway. She felt proud of herself for taking the leap. " - I'm glad I didn't give up," Mya thought.
With new friends and newfound confidence, Mya felt like she belonged. She knew she could face any challenge ahead. " - I am amazing," she said to herself, smiling brightly. The future looked promising.
Mya learned that being amazing wasn't about being perfect. It was about being brave and kind. As she enjoyed her new life in Seattle, Mya knew she had the courage to shine. The adventure was just beginning.

The Six Sheep and the Silly School Bus Adventure
In the sunny meadow of Woolly Hills, six unique sheep embark on an unexpected adventure when a silly school bus arrives, offering a ride to a mysterious destination. The sheep must overcome their differences and work together to solve the mystery of where the bus is taking them. One morning, their teacher, Mrs. Woolworth, announced, "Today, we're going on a field trip to the Woolly Wonders Museum!" The sheep bleated with excitement (except for Baasha, who only managed a tiny "Yay"). When the bus arrived, chaos began right away. Skippy, zooming around on her skates, was the first to board. She slid past the driver and yelled, "SHOTGUN!" before crashing into the front seat. Velvet paused at the door, adjusting her glittery beret. "Is this bus even clean enough for me?" she muttered, inspecting the seats. Fluffy sniffled nervously. "Do you think they’ll have flowers at the museum? I hope not!" She clutched her tissues as she climbed aboard. Shep plopped into a window seat and pulled out a book titled The History of Sheep Art. "Did you know that sheep have been in paintings for centuries?" he began to explain to nobody in particular. Dash ran circles around the bus, chanting, "Last one in is a rotten bale of hay!" And Baasha? She lingered by the door, her wool practically trembling. "What if I sit next to someone I don’t know?" she whispered. Mrs. Woolworth helped Baasha into a seat near the front and finally, the bus rumbled down the bumpy meadow road. The Mishaps Begin The first bump sent Skippy flying from her seat. "WOOHOO!" she yelled, landing on Dash, who thought it was a wrestling match. "Careful! You're wrinkling my scarf!" Velvet cried, trying to shield her outfit. "ACHOO!" Fluffy sneezed so loudly that Shep dropped his book. "Can someone turn down the excitement?" Shep muttered, picking it up. As the bus rounded a curve, Skippy stood up on her skates. "Check this out—roller skating bus tricks!" she announced. She spun in a circle but lost her balance and landed in Fluffy’s lap. "Skippy, please! My tissues!" Fluffy wailed. Velvet gasped. "Skippy, your skates scuffed my purse!" "ACHOO!" Dash tried to calm the chaos by organizing a quick seat race, but Baasha covered her eyes, whispering, "Too much, too much!" The Museum... Eventually By the time they arrived, Mrs. Woolworth looked frazzled, but the sheep were all smiles (except Baasha, who managed a tiny grin). At the museum, Fluffy was thrilled to see a section dedicated to wool art—no flowers! Baasha found a quiet corner with cozy sheep sculptures. Skippy skated around an exhibit about ancient sheep tools, earning a scolding from the museum guide. Velvet posed for selfies with every artifact, while Shep eagerly read all the plaques aloud. Dash challenged the group to a race up the museum stairs, earning a stern “No running!” from the guide. That night, back in their meadow, the sheep laughed about the day’s events. “Next time, let’s go to a skate park!” Skippy suggested. “Or a fashion show,” Velvet added. “Or maybe just stay home with a good book,” Shep said. “ACHOO!” Fluffy sneezed, and everyone laughed. Even Baasha let out a soft giggle. And with that, the six sheep fell asleep under the stars, dreaming of their next adventure.
