Three children about 4 years old on a soft green lawn under a pale blue sky: a girl on the left with black pigtails and a small red hat smiles as she places a red hat on the ground; a blond boy in the center stacks a blue sock on the hat and laughs at the tower; a girl on the right with a brown braid holds a green spoon and places it atop the tilting tower. A pastel check blanket lies on the grass with a few yellow flowers and a warm round sun in the corner. They are building a wobbly tower of funny objects (red hat, blue sock, green spoon) that is tipping; the scene is playful and colorful.

Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

Mila, Leo, and Tia are three little friends. Mila has a red hat. Leo has a blue sock. Tia has a green spoon. They sit together on a soft, big blanket. “Let's build a tower!” says Leo. Mila claps. Tia giggles.

Mila puts her red hat on the ground. Leo puts his blue sock on top. Tia puts her green spoon on the very top. The tower wobbles! Mila laughs, “It's a silly tower!” Tia laughs too. “Look! It's tall!” says Leo.

Suddenly, the red hat falls down. The blue sock goes plop! The green spoon rolls away. The three friends look at each other. Mila makes a funny face. Leo makes a silly noise. Tia makes her hands go clap-clap! They all laugh and laugh.

“Let's try again!” says Tia. This time, they use a shoe and a teddy bear. The tower is even funnier. It leans left, then right, then... flop! Everything falls down again. Nobody is sad. “That's okay,” says Leo. “We can build it more!”

The friends sit close. They share a cookie. They smile and hold hands. The sun feels warm. The grass is soft. The giggles get quiet. Soon, they yawn.

It is nice to play, share, and laugh with good friends.

Three girls, about five years old: Mia (short brown bob, black round eyes like modeling clay, yellow polka-dot dress) stands left on tiptoe singing and twirling her arms; Zoe (blonde pigtails, orange freckles, green T‑shirt and blue shorts) is center, leaning forward wiping a blue hat with a small red towel; Ava (long black hair, big smile, pink overalls) is right, holding the hat with both hands and gently pulling to share it. They are in a sunny courtyard with light paving, a large shiny puddle in the center, frayed green grass, a few stylized flowers and a house with a red door in the background; soft shadows and visible pressed-clay textures.
