Page 1: Osh, Ish, and XL were going to Jerusalem with Jesus. "We'll see the temple, God's special house!" Ish said. [The concept of the temple as God's house is common knowledge in religious contexts but not stated in Matthew 21.]
Page 2: "We need a donkey," Jesus said. XL pointed. "Look! A mommy donkey and her colt." [Finding the donkey and colt is mentioned in Matthew 21:2.]
Page 3: The disciples put their cloaks on the colt, and Jesus sat on it. "He's riding like a king!" Osh whispered. [Jesus riding the colt is described in Matthew 21:7.]
Page 4: People spread their cloaks on the road for Jesus to ride over. Some waved palm leaves! "What are they doing?" Ish asked. [This scene is found in Matthew 21:8.]
Page 5: "They're showing respect for Jesus," XL explained.
Page 6: "Hosanna to the Son of David!" the people shouted. "What's 'Hosanna' mean?" Ish asked. "It means 'Save us!'" XL said. [Matthew 21:9 describes the crowd's shouts.]
Page 7: Osh and Ish loved the excitement. Everyone was happy to see Jesus. [Matthew 21:10-11 mentions the city being stirred by Jesus' arrival.]
Page 8: At the temple, instead of peace, it was noisy! People were selling things inside. [Matthew 21:12 describes Jesus observing this.]
Page 9: Jesus was upset. He overturned tables, saying, "This is my Father's house, a house of prayer! Not for buying and selling!" [Jesus' actions are found in Matthew 21:12-13.]
Page 10: Osh and Ish had never seen Jesus angry. "Why is he upset?" Ish asked XL.
Page 11: "It's like throwing trash at Grandma's house," XL explained. "It makes her sad because she loves her house." [This example is not from the source.]
Page 12: Osh and Ish learned that God's house is special. We should be respectful there, just like at the homes of people we love.

Nylon is having issues embracing his natural curly locks. Nylon has tried everything to cover his natural curly hair from wearing baseball caps, pulling hoodies over his head with the drawstring tightly. Nylon thought to himself one night maybe if I spray my head with water and hold my hands on top of my head for 10 minutes my hair would flatten, while this did make Nylon's hair less poofy, by the time morning arrived Nylon hair was curlier and puffer than ever. Nylon figured the only other option he had was to ask his father if he could get his haircut. So, one Saturday morning Nylon's father took him to the local barbershop to get a haircut. Although this is what Nylon thought was going to be life changing, he still didn't feel any different, eventhough his hair was now gone. When Nylon returned to school on Monday all the kids were looking and pointing not quite the response Nylon was looking for, one of his classmates Syer asked him "Heyyyy, why did you cut your hair? "I thought your hair was really cool looking, I wish my hair would curl like that." Nylon gave a slight smile but on the inside he felt confused, but realized that none ever told him that they did not like his locks, no one ever made fun of him that he had extra curly hair, but instead it was his insecurities about his locks that made him feel that everyone else felt the exact same way that he did. From that day on Nylon realized sometimes being different is what makes us all be unique. Nylon went back home and told his dad that he thinks he will let his hair grow back.

Oliver's Tiny,  Big World

Imagine a charming scene with a lively and curious girl named Tália, always involved in little mischiefs. She is being warned by the adults around her: "Don’t climb, Tália!" as she scales walls and trees, "Don’t run, dear!" as she darts across the yard like a streak of lightning. Tália is full of life and can’t sit still, always ready for her next adventure.

Now, picture the ancient legend Tália heard about Talantis, a magical city hidden deep beneath the ocean. Its palaces are made of shimmering shells, its streets of coral, and pearl boats float gracefully. Talantis is a place only the bravest adventurers can reach. In her dream world, Tália sets off in search of this magical city, her little legs taking her closer to the sea.

Talantis is depicted as a grand realm, full of color and life, where little fish swim as if dancing, and the waters sparkle under the sunlight. She eventually finds the magical city, or perhaps it is Talantis that finds her.

It is said that Talantis was created by an ancient queen, the Queen of Poetic Audacity, a brave princess who defied the gods with her beautiful verses. After defeating the most erudite of gods, she received a magical pearl that helped her transform her village and save her people from a terrible curse. At the center of the city, a pearlescent fountain of magical waters shines, reminding everyone of the queen’s heroic act.

Now, centuries later, Tália hears a soft melody coming from the shores of Talantis, like a call. The magical city remains alive, guiding curious and courageous hearts, just like Tália’s.

En un cálido pueblito, donde las flores de mil colores danzaban con la brisa y los pájaros cantaban desde las copas de los árboles, vivía una pequeña niña llamada Antonia. Este lugar estaba a los pies de la Montaña Mágica, de la que se decía albergaba en su cima una flor capaz de conceder paz y sabiduría a quien la encontrara. Un día, con una curiosidad que brillaba en sus ojos, Antonia decidió emprender la aventura para hallar esa mágica flor. El comienzo del sendero estaba lleno de mariposas y pajaritos. Sin embargo, mientras Antonia ascendía, la ruta se tornaba cada vez más difícil y desafiante. A pesar de caídas y raíces que intentaban detenerla, Antonia recordó a un pequeño caracol que, aunque lento, nunca dejaba de moverse hacia adelante. Este pequeño amigo la inspiró para no rendirse y siempre buscar nuevas rutas cuando encontrara obstáculos. En un punto de su viaje, Antonia encontró un arroyo de aguas cristalinas. Al inclinarse para beber, su reflejo en el agua le habló, mostrándole no solo su imagen sino también todas las veces que había caído y se había levantado. El reflejo le habló sobre la importancia de conocerse a sí misma, aceptar sus temores y aprender de ellos para ser aún más fuerte. "Antonia, debes continuar. Tú sabes lo que vales y de lo que realmente eres capaz", le dijo su reflejo. Al entender el mensaje, Antonia se secó las lágrimas, sonrió a su reflejo en el agua y le agradeció la valiosa lección. Con nueva fortaleza y confianza, Antonia retomó su camino y, tras superar muchos obstáculos, finalmente llegó a la cima. La flor mágica, al verla, iluminó todo con su esplendor y le mostró lo lejos que había llegado gracias a su perseverancia y a aprender sobre sí misma. De regreso al pueblo, Antonia, con el corazón rebosante de alegría, compartió su aventura y las lecciones que había aprendido con todos los aldeanos. Les habló de la importancia de no rendirse, de aprender de los retos y de conocerse y aceptarse a sí mismos.

One evening, Henry shared his troubles with his parents who suggested he speak to his teacher about Jake's behavior. The next day, the teacher spoke to both boys and encouraged Henry to approach Jake with kindness and understanding.

Taking her advice to heart, Henry approached Jake and gently asked why he was being mean. Initially hesitant, Jake finally admitted that he felt jealous of Henry's good nature and academic success which made him act out.

It was Thursday, and Mohan's class teacher announced a special potluck party for Friday to celebrate Janmashtami, which was coming up that weekend. She asked all the students to gather in a circle and placed a bowl in the centre. The bowl was filled with colourful chits, each one with the name of a different dish written on it.
Excitement filled the classroom as each student took turns picking a chit from the bowl. Whatever dish was written on their chit was the one they needed to bring to the class party. Mohan's heart raced with curiosity about what he would get. With a mix of excitement and a little worry, he reached into the bowl, hoping that the dish he picked would be something his family could afford to bring to the party.
As he slowly unfolded the chit, Mohan saw the word "K H E E R" written in big, bold letters.
Mohan stood still in shock, knowing that preparing "Kheer" required costly items such as milk, sugar, and nuts that his family could not afford.

Page 3: The Earth's Moon
Earth has one moon. It is called "The Moon." The Moon is a giant rock that orbits Earth. At night, the Moon shines brightly in the sky. Sometimes it looks like a circle, and other times a sliver. The Moon's pull on Earth makes the ocean tides rise and fall.
