A 2-year-old boy with a round face, rosy cheeks, soft blond locks and big curious smiling eyes holds a small wooden oar as he climbs into a light-blue wooden boat; a gentle red fox with silky fur, white markings and a plume tail stands on a low cloud at the boat's height, watching him like a friend; a small round door set into the trunk of a cloud-tree has a golden star hanging on it and a shiny round key rests on a nearby lantern-branch; the scene shows a glowing sea of gently waving green grass, a pale watercolor blue sky with pink touches, fluffy pink-and-white clouds and drifting tiny golden leaves as the boat slowly flies from the grass toward the waiting cloud—soft, safe adventure in pastel colors with fluid lines and visible watercolor textures. report a problem with this image

Little Tom is one year old. He wakes in a sun nest. He smiles. A small boat waits on a soft sea of grass. Tom climbs in. The boat hums like a friend. It flies.

Tom sees big blue sky. He sees a rain of tiny gold leaves. A bird with a kind voice says, "Come." Tom waves. He giggles. The wind pats his cheek. The clouds make soft beds. Tom reaches a cloud and steps. It bounces like a pad. He hops and laughs.

A gentle fox meets him. The fox says, "Hello." Tom says, "Hi." They walk on light paths. They find a round key on a star. Tom presses it. A small door opens in a tree. Inside is a bright room with warm lights and a big cup of honey tea. Tom sips with a tiny cup. He shares with the fox.

They sing a short song. The boat hums a song back. The sun draws a smile on each leaf. When Tom is sleepy, the boat brings him home. His room is warm. His blanket is soft. His mom hugs him and hums a lullaby. Tom sleeps and dreams of a new kind day.

A kind small heart makes brave steps and gentle hands help along the way.
