Kawaii sleepy dolphin with bubbles, seaweed, coral, stars, and a crescent moon underwater

Sleepy Dolphin Under a Crescent Moon

A smiling dolphin drifts through curling waves, bubbles, seaweed, coral, starfish, and a sleepy crescent moon overhead.

🎨 How to color it

Give the dolphin a soft sky blue, the seaweed two leafy greens, the coral a peachy orange, and the crescent moon a buttery yellow. Use chunky crayons or broad markers for the dolphin’s big body, then switch to a sharper crayon tip for the tiny bubbles, stars, and shell. Try making the swirly water darkest near the moon and lighter around the dolphin, like a secret nighttime current.

Bex and the Moon Current — Under the reef’s hush, Bex tapped his nose to three silver bubbles. “I’ll follow all three,” he whispered. Read the full story →

Under the reef’s hush, Bex tapped his nose to three silver bubbles. “I’ll follow all three,” he whispered. Pop, bob, shimmer! They slipped past the soft seaweed where he liked to nap, so Bex swam after them into the cool blue dark.

A tickly coral branch brushed his side, and a crab snapped, click-click, at his tail. Bex gave the crab his smooth pebble so it would let him pass. The last bubble rose to a curled current shaped like a sleepy moon. Inside it, tiny stars hummed like shells. Bex carried one hum home in his heart, and next time you spot the moon current, listen for Bex’s pop, bob, shimmer.
