Indoor afternoon light fills Sia's bedroom as Sia kneels before an open colouring book on the carpet, eyes wide and mouth surprised. On the ocean page, a friendly fish with a pink fin winks up at her.
Sia opened her colouring book and saw a big ocean picture. "I want to colour the fish bright pink!" Sia giggled. She grabbed her crayons and began drawing swirly waves. Suddenly, the fish on the page wiggled! "Did you just move?" Sia asked in surprise. The fish winked at her and smiled.
Under a sunlit turquoise ocean inside the colouring book, Sia in her everyday clothes floats with arms spread, smiling wide. A friendly fish with a pink fin hovers beside her while other colourful fish swirl in the clear water.
"Come join us!" the friendly fish called. Sia closed her eyes and wished hard. With a pop, she was inside the colouring book, splashing in the cool blue water. Colourful fish swam all around her, giggling. "This is amazing!" Sia cheered. She clapped her hands with joy.
In the glowing coral reef under bright, dappled sea-light, Sia kneels on sandy seabed, pressing a pink crayon against coral that bursts with new colour. A friendly fish with a pink fin sings nearby while other colourful fish circle cheerfully.
"Let’s colour the coral too!" Sia said. She picked up her pink crayon and painted bright shapes on the reef. The ocean world sparkled with new colours. The fish swirled around Sia, singing, "Thank you!" Sia did a happy twirl. "Best colouring day ever!" she said.
Evening lamplight warms Sia's bedroom as she sits on her bed holding the closed colouring book against her chest, smiling softly. On the cover, a friendly fish with a pink fin is printed mid-wink, seeming to wave goodbye.
A friendly fish waved its fin. "Time to go home, Sia!" Sia waved goodbye and blinked. She was back in her room, holding her beautiful colouring book. The fish on the page smiled and winked. Sia grinned, "Can’t wait for our next adventure!"
