🎨 How to color it

Color the girl’s cardigan butter yellow, her bow coral pink, the bear chair honey brown, and the Story Corner banner sky blue. Use sharpened colored pencils for the many book spines and tiny shelf labels, then switch to broader strokes for the chair, rug, and window. Try making the window scene dusky purple with pale yellow stars so the cozy reading corner feels bright by comparison.

Between the tick-tick of the little shelf clock and the peppery smell of pencil shavings, Romy read every book title out loud in the Story Corner. “ABC. Tales. Birds. Fun.” Then she spotted the strangest one: HRSLY. She whispered it three ways, and each way made the bear chair squeak like it was trying not to laugh.

Romy opened her storybook to keep reading, but her eyes kept hopping back to that silly spine. HRSLY. Hurr-slee? Horse-lily? Her curiosity bounced harder than her shoe against the rug. “Fine,” she told the chair, “one peek.” The shelves seemed to hold their breath; even the paper stars above the banner looked pointy with secrets.

Behind HRSLY was not a book at all, but a tiny cardboard theater folded flat, with a note: For readers who say the weird words first. Romy set it inside her open book, and the bear chair gave one proud squeak. If you visit the Story Corner in your mind, listen between the tick-ticks for the shelf that still giggles.
