🎨 How to color it

Color the gymnast’s leotard ruby red, her medal bright gold, the laurel leaves fresh green, and the podium steps sky blue. Use chunky crayons or broad markers for the big leotard, podium, and leaf shapes, and don’t worry if little hands color outside the bold lines. Try making the four sparkle stars yellow so they look like tiny cheers around her hands.

Behind the garden podium, Sani held her medal tight and bounced on her toes. She wanted her cheer to reach every friend in the park, even the tadpoles in the fountain. But her voice came out tiny. “Pip,” said a leaf by her ankle.

Sani bent close. The laurel sprouts were listening. She lifted both arms and whispered her biggest joy into them: whoosh, clap, hooray! The leaves shivered, then climbed high in green curls so the cheer could travel without shouting. Ever since, laurel leaves rise around a winner to carry happy news farther than any voice. If you spot the curled leaves, can you hear Sani’s secret hooray?
