Ali was the captain of the school basketball team. Everyone admired his skills. However, every time an important game approached, butterflies fluttered in his stomach, and anxiety twisted his insides, making it hard to focus on the court. One day, his friend Eda noticed his struggle. She wanted to share a simple breathing technique she had learned in drama class. “Let’s try a little breathing practice,” she said. Count each breath you take, starting from 1. When you reach 10, start over from 1. If you lose track or get distracted, simply start again from 1. You can utilize your fingers to enable you to count. Imagine you are sensing a charming flower as you breathe in and blowing out candles on a huge cake as you breathe out. On the day of the big game, Ali decided to use the technique Eda taught him. He inhaled as if smelling a captivating blossom and exhaled as if blowing out candles on a giant cake. His anxiety slowly transformed into calmness, and he felt more ready for the game. At that moment, he realized the power of a simple breath.

Maplewood was a happy town. But one day, news came that a sneaky weasel gang was hiding near the edge of the town. The animals were worried and wondered what they should do. Big Bucks Bear, who ran Maplewood Supply Company, had a plan. “We need strong walls and traps to keep the weasels out,” he said. Big Bucks told the animals that, just like during the Cold Forest Standoff years ago, they had to stay prepared and strong. But Penny the Raccoon had another idea. “What if we try to befriend the weasels or help them find a place to live?” she asked. She reminded everyone that spending too much on defense—like when the animals once sent nuts and supplies to faraway lands—could leave them without enough for themselves. Big Bucks was persuasive. He convinced Maplewood to use almost all of their savings to build walls, just like in the Squirrel-Bird Dispute over Nut Valley, when they built forts and traps. Soon, Maplewood was pouring all its resources into Big Bucks’ projects. Penny noticed that things around town were falling apart. With so much money going to walls and gadgets, there was hardly anything left to fix schools, parks, or even make enough food! “What if we’re using up our savings on things that don’t help us every day?” she thought. Penny gathered everyone and shared her plan. “Instead of building walls, let’s work together and share what we have. The world needs peace, just like we learned in the Forest Unity Days!” She reminded them that when the animals had shared their food and tools, they had more than enough. As the animals talked and listened, they realized that the weasels weren’t all bad. They just needed help, too. Penny and her friends invited the weasels to work and play together in Maplewood, and soon they were all sharing the forest’s food and shelter. He used his skills to help rebuild schools, parks, and homes, seeing that Maplewood was stronger when everyone worked together.

On a sunny morning, Lucas and his playful dog Cody set off to explore the river near their village. The water sparkled under the sun, and Lucas couldn’t resist jumping in. Cody splashed alongside him, barking with excitement as they swam and played. As they reached a calm part of the river, Lucas noticed a girl sitting on a rock with a fishing rod. She had braided hair, a straw hat, and a bucket with small fish. “Hi there!” Lucas called out, waving. The girl smiled. “Hi! You and your dog look like you’re having fun.” “We are! I’m Lucas, and this is Cody. What’s your name?” “I’m Zoe,” she said. “I come here to fish. It’s my favorite spot.” Lucas swam closer. “Can you teach me how to fish?” “Sure,” Zoe laughed. “But Cody has to promise not to scare the fish away!” For the next hour, Zoe showed Lucas how to cast a line and wait patiently. Cody tried to “help” by barking at every ripple, making them laugh until their sides hurt. Suddenly, Zoe’s fishing rod bent. “I’ve got something!” she exclaimed. Lucas watched in awe as she reeled in a shiny, wriggling fish. “Wow, that’s amazing!” Lucas said. “Thanks! But I think I’ll let it go,” Zoe said, releasing the fish gently back into the water. As the sun set, painting the sky with orange and pink, the three sat by the riverbank, sharing Lucas’s snacks and telling stories. They laughed and talked, promising to meet again for more adventures. From that day on, Lucas, Cody, and Zoe became the best of friends, making memories by the river—a place that became their special spot for fun, friendship, and adventure.

I am Luca. I am four years old, and I just started Kindy. It is exciting, but also a little bit scary. There are so many new things—new teachers, new friends, and a big new playground! Every morning, my grown-up walks me to the Kindy room. Some days, I feel happy. Other days, I feel nervous and want to stay longer. When I feel worried, my tummy feels funny, and I want to cry. Mrs. Kubicek showed me the Zones of Regulation chart. She told me feeling worried is the blue zone, and that it is okay. To feel better, I can take deep breaths, press my hug button, or give a big hug before saying, “See you later!” When I miss my family, I remember that they love me always, and I will see them again soon when I get home. This helps me feel safe. When I get to the Kindy room, I put my bag, crunch and sip, and water bottle in their places. This helps me get ready for the day. Before Kindy starts, I can play with the trucks and puzzles. Sometimes, I do this with Mum or Dad before they say goodbye. That helps me feel braver. Recess and Lunch At recess, all the children go outside to eat and play. I feel nervous and stay near the wall. Mrs. Kubicek notices and says, “Luca, would you like to sit with Milani and Bodhi?” I nod. Milani and Bodhi smile and say, “Come sit with us!” That makes me feel good inside. I move into the green zone—calm and happy! Sometimes, I want to stay with Mrs. Kubicek at recess and lunch. But when she leaves, I feel sad. She reminds me that it is important to play with my friends. I take a deep breath, press my hug button, and find Milani and Bodhi. Once I start playing, I feel much better! At the end of the day, I pack my bag and sit on the mat. When I see my grown-up waiting, I run to give them a big hug. “How was your day?” they ask.I smile and say, “I played with Milani and Bodhi.” Each day, I feel a little braver. If I feel nervous, I can take deep breaths, press my hug button, or ask for help. Kindy is full of adventures, and I am ready for them all!

Each Sunday throughout the season, her elves leave her a special card or letter along with a fun gift or activity to do with her family, like tickets to see The Nutcracker or to go to Legoland.

They stay until she goes back to school, and then they fly back to the North Pole until they return on Sleigh Day the following year. When they leave, the elves always give her a special parting gift with a card, to make sure she always has special memories of that Christmas season.
