Mateen is Growing Up
Join Mateen, a curious two-year-old, as he embarks on a heartfelt journey to learn about charity and kindness in his hometown of Quincy, MA. When Mateen discovers a broken toy truck and a sad friend, he sets out to fix it. Along the way, he faces a series of challenges that test his determination and understanding of giving. Can Mateen learn what it truly means to share and help others?
Mateen loved playing in the park with his toy truck. One day, he saw his friend Emma crying. Her toy truck was broken. Mateen wanted to help but didn't know how. " - Why is Emma sad?" Mateen asked. His mom explained, " - Emma's truck is broken, and she feels sad." Mateen decided he must help Emma somehow.
Mateen wanted to fix Emma's truck, but he didn't have any tools. " - I need tools," Mateen said. He searched around the park for something to help. He found a stick, but it wasn't enough. " - This won't work," he sighed. Mateen felt a little frustrated.
Mateen's mom suggested they go to the library to find a book about fixing things. At the library, Mateen found a book about toy repairs. " - Can I fix the truck now?" Mateen asked eagerly. But the book was too hard for him to read. " - I don't understand," he said, feeling sad. Mateen needed more help.
Mateen felt like giving up on fixing Emma's truck. " - It's too hard," he said to his mom. He sat down on the library floor, looking defeated. His mom gave him a hug, " - It's okay to feel stuck," she said gently. Mateen didn't know what to do next. He just wanted to make Emma happy.
Just then, a friendly librarian named Mr. Leo saw Mateen. " - Do you need help?" Mr. Leo asked with a warm smile. Mateen nodded. " - I want to fix Emma's truck," he said. Mr. Leo showed Mateen a simple picture book about sharing and helping. " - You can do it," Mr. Leo encouraged.
With new ideas from the book, Mateen and his mom found some tape and glue. They fixed Emma's truck together. " - Thank you, Mateen!" Emma cheered, hugging him tightly. Mateen felt proud and happy. He learned that helping others felt really good. " - I like sharing," Mateen smiled.
