🎨 How to color it

Color the cement mixer drum sunny yellow, the cab bright red, the big tires charcoal gray, and the little roadside tree leafy green. Use chunky crayons for the large cab, drum, and wheel circles; staying inside every line is optional. Try making each drum panel a slightly different yellow or orange, like warm blocks of sunshine.

At a bush, a moon-snail whispered, “Wait for my crossing.” Winnie waited. The cement sat quietly. Then it made one soft lump. Oh no.

Winnie turned her round drum gently: rum-rum, hush-hush. The lump melted smooth. Ever since, mixer drums turn and turn, patiently keeping cement soft. Next time you see that round drum, can you hear its hush-hush?
