Sam looking disappointed holding a colored-over drawing, with a sad Mia standing nearby holding a crayon. A small table with scattered papers and crayons in the background.
Sam sighed as he saw his little sister, Mia, had colored all over his drawing. "Mia, that was my picture!" Sam said. Mia looked sad and said, "I wanted to draw with you." Sam felt torn between being angry and wanting to help Mia. "Next time, let's draw together," Sam gently suggested. Mia smiled and hugged him tightly.
Sam and Mia sitting at a table, smiling, surrounded by crayons, paper, and an open craft box with glitter. Mia has bouncing pigtails and is drawing flowers, Sam is drawing a sun on a card.
Sam whispered, "Let’s make a surprise for Mom!" Mia’s eyes sparkled. They gathered crayons, paper, and glitter from the craft box. "I’ll draw the sun, and you can draw flowers," suggested Sam. Mia nodded excitedly, her pigtails bouncing. Together, they started creating a beautiful card.
Mia giggling with glitter spilled all over the table, Sam smiling as he helps clean up. A bright, colorful card in progress is in front of them.
Mia tried to use the glitter, but it spilled everywhere. "Oops!" she giggled. Sam laughed and helped clean up. "It's okay, accidents happen," he said kindly. They took turns adding shapes and colors. Soon, the card was bright and cheerful, just like them.
A happy Mom hugging a grinning Sam and a beaming Mia, with a handmade card peeking out from under a book on the table.
"Let’s hide it under Mom’s book," whispered Sam. When Mom found the card, she hugged Sam and Mia tightly. "This is the best surprise ever!" Mom smiled. Sam grinned and said, "We made it together." Mia beamed with pride. Being siblings really was special after all.
