Cactus Cody, a brave little cowboy in a tan hat and brown boots, stands tall with his hands on his hips, smiling wide at the morning sun. In the background, a little red barn and soft green pasture under a bright desert sky with gentle cacti along a sandy path.

Cactus Cody lives on a sunny ranch. He has a little red barn and a big green pasture. Cody loves his horse. He loves the warm desert sun. Today feels different. Something new is here!

Blinky Sparx, a small sparkly silver android with bright blinking blue and pink lights on his round head, rolls excitedly up a sandy path lined with cheerful green cacti. In the background, a warm glowing home with golden light in the windows at the end of the cactus-dotted path.

Blinky Sparx rolls up the cactus-dotted path. Blink, blink, blink go his sparkly lights! "Cody! Cody!" says Blinky. "Did you hear? A tiny new baby is here!"

A tiny baby wrapped in a soft pink blanket, sleeping in a small wooden cradle with a little yellow star sewn on the blanket. In the background, the cozy inside of a warm home with golden lamplight and a rocking chair.

Cody and Blinky peek inside the warm, glowing home. There she is! A tiny, tiny baby. She is so small. She is Cody's new sister. "Ohhh," whispers Cody. "She is little."

Cactus Cody, a brave little cowboy in a tan hat and brown boots, stands alone in the corner of the room, hugging his arms, looking a little worried. In the background, the cozy inside of a warm home with golden lamplight and a rocking chair.

But then the baby cries. WAAAH! WAAAH! The house is loud. Mama holds the baby close. Mama is very busy. Cody stands in the corner. He feels a little unsure.

Cactus Cody, a brave little cowboy in a tan hat and brown boots, sits on a hay bale beside the little red barn while a friendly brown horse with a white star on its forehead nuzzles his hand. In the background, a soft green pasture stretching out under a warm golden desert sky.

Cody walks outside. He sits by the little red barn. "Everything is different," says Cody. His horse nuzzles his hand. That feels nice. But Cody is still a little sad.

Blinky Sparx, a small sparkly silver android with bright blinking blue and pink lights on his round head, sits beside Cactus Cody on a hay bale, his lights glowing a gentle warm gold. In the background, a little red barn and gentle cacti under a soft peach-colored sky.

Blinky Sparx rolls over. Blink, blink, blink. "Cody, are you okay?" asks Blinky. "I feel funny," says Cody. "Mama is so busy. Is there room for me?" Blinky's lights glow warm and soft.

Blinky Sparx, a small sparkly silver android with bright blinking blue and pink lights on his round head, holds his little silver hands over his chest, glowing pink with a big heart shape of light on his body. In the background, a warm sunset sky painted in soft pink and gold over the desert prairie.

"Your heart is so big, Cody," says Blinky. "Love does not get smaller. It grows and grows! There is room for Mama. Room for the baby. Room for you. Room for everyone!" Can you put your hands on YOUR heart? Feel how big it is!

A soft pink blanket with a little yellow star sewn on it, draped gently over two small cowboy-boot-wearing arms carrying it carefully. In the background, the cozy inside of a warm home with golden lamplight and a rocking chair.

Cody smiles. "Maybe I can help!" He tiptoes inside. The baby is fussy. Cody finds her soft pink blanket with the little yellow star. He brings it to Mama. "Thank you, Cody," says Mama. "You are such a good helper."

Cactus Cody, a brave little cowboy in a tan hat and brown boots, leans close to the small wooden cradle, singing sweetly with his eyes half-closed and a gentle smile. In the background, the cozy inside of a warm home with soft golden lamplight and a window showing a dusky purple sky.

The baby is still fussy. What can Cody do? He sings a soft, gentle song. "Hush, hush, little one. The stars will come soon." The baby listens. She gets quiet. Shhhhh. Singing softly can help a baby feel safe.

A tiny baby hand wrapped in a soft pink blanket with a little yellow star, holding tight onto one small finger. In the background, a warm golden glow and the edge of a small wooden cradle.

Blinky shows Cody how to touch the baby gently. "Soft, soft, soft," says Blinky. Cody uses one gentle finger. He touches her tiny hand. Can you show me a gentle touch? Soft, soft, soft. The baby holds Cody's finger tight!

Cactus Cody, a brave little cowboy in a tan hat and brown boots, sits in the rocking chair on a wooden porch, cradling a tiny baby wrapped in a soft pink blanket with a little yellow star, holding her tiny hand. In the background, a wide dark blue sky full of bright twinkling stars above the gentle desert prairie and the little red barn.

Night comes to the ranch. The stars come out, one by one. Cody holds his sister's tiny hand under the big, bright sky. She is so small. He is her big brother. That is a very important job.

A little red barn under a sky that is half starry night and half golden sunrise, with a single bright star glowing biggest of all right above the barn's roof. In the background, the cactus-dotted sandy path leading toward the warm glowing home with golden light in its windows.

Some days will be hard. The baby will cry. Mama will be busy. But some days will be wonderful. There will be laughing and songs and tiny fingers holding on tight. Love only grows bigger. Tomorrow is a brand new day on the ranch, and Cody cannot wait.
