How the story goes

One small trouble. Three turns.

A peek for grown-ups, so you know where the story is headed before you turn the first page.

  1. A small trouble

    Uri asks Angel to fly kites on Windtop Hill. She says “No,” and he hears: I don’t like your game.

  2. A brave choice

    A snagged string makes Uri look back. Angel is watching the steep path. “Is the no about the game or the hill?” he asks.

  3. A happy turn

    Her ankle is still wobbly, so they fly kites on flat ground. “Thank you for asking twice,” she says.

And the moral of the story

“Try to see it their way.”

Say it together at the last page. It’s short on purpose.
