Diego, an outgoing little boy, stands smiling with one foot on top of a bright red soccer ball on bright green grass, his arms spread wide with joy. In the background, a sunny colorful neighborhood park with a warm golden sun overhead.

This is Diego! Diego loves soccer. He loves to kick, kick, kick his bright red soccer ball. The sun is warm. The grass is green. What a happy day!

Diego leaps in the air with both fists raised, celebrating in front of a tiny white soccer goal with a net, the bright red soccer ball resting inside the goal. In the background, bright green grass and a sunny colorful neighborhood park.

Diego runs fast! He kicks the bright red ball. He scores a goal! "Gooooal!" shouts Diego. He does a happy dance, all by himself.

Diego stands still on the bright green grass, looking around with a wondering expression, the bright red soccer ball at his feet, no one else nearby. In the background, an empty little soccer field with a tiny white soccer goal.

Diego kicks again. He runs again. He scores again! But no one claps. No one cheers. Diego looks around. He is all alone. Hmm.

A bright red soccer ball rolling quickly across bright green grass, heading far away past a big shady oak tree with thick leafy branches. In the background, the sunny colorful neighborhood park with warm golden light.

Then—oh no! Diego kicks the bright red ball too hard. It rolls far, far away. It rolls past the big shady tree. Where did it go? Diego cannot find it.

Diego sits on the bright green grass with his knees pulled up, looking down sadly, a small tear on his cheek. In the background, the big shady oak tree with thick leafy branches and the empty little soccer field.

Diego sits down in the grass. His lip wobbles. He feels sad. Playing alone is not so fun now. "I want my ball," says Diego. A little tear rolls down his cheek.

Diego is wrapped in a warm hug from a kind-faced woman with long dark hair wearing a soft yellow sundress, both sitting on the bright green grass. In the background, the big shady oak tree with thick leafy branches and warm golden sunlight.

But look! Here comes Mama! She sits down close and wraps Diego in a big, warm hug. "I am here," says Mama. "I love you." Diego feels safe. Hugs help when you are sad.

A playful little brown puppy with floppy ears drops a bright red soccer ball at Diego's feet and licks his face, making Diego giggle with a big open smile. In the background, the big shady oak tree with thick leafy branches on bright green grass.

Then—woof, woof! A playful little brown puppy with floppy ears runs up. The puppy found the bright red ball! The puppy licks Diego's face. Slurp! Diego laughs and laughs.

Diego holds the bright red soccer ball and looks up at a kind-faced woman with long dark hair wearing a soft yellow sundress, who kneels beside him smiling gently. In the background, the little soccer field with a tiny white soccer goal and warm golden sunlight.

Now Diego's friends come running! "Can we play too?" they ask. Diego looks at Mama. Mama smiles. "Pass the ball, Diego. Love grows when you share it."

Diego kicks the bright red soccer ball with a huge joyful grin, one leg swinging forward on the bright green grass of the little soccer field. In the background, the tiny white soccer goal with a net and the warm golden sun overhead.

Diego kicks the bright red ball to a friend. The friend kicks it back! Kick, kick, kick! Back and forth. They laugh and cheer. "Gooooal!" everyone shouts together. So much fun!

Diego bends down and gently pats the playful little brown puppy with floppy ears, both on the bright green grass, Diego smiling warmly. In the background, the big shady oak tree with thick leafy branches and the sunny colorful neighborhood park.

Diego holds his friend's hand. He gives Mama a hug. He pats the playful little brown puppy with floppy ears. "I love you," says Diego. And do you know what? They all say it back!

A bright red soccer ball resting on bright green grass, glowing softly with a warm golden light around it, like a little heart of love. In the background, soft golden sunset colors over the colorful neighborhood park.

Love is like a soccer ball. It is best when you pass it to someone else! A hug. A smile. A kind word. "I love you." Can you say it too?

Diego sits snuggled close to a kind-faced woman with long dark hair wearing a soft yellow sundress under the big shady oak tree with thick leafy branches, the playful little brown puppy with floppy ears sleeping curled in his lap, all gazing upward. In the background, a deep blue night sky filled with bright twinkly stars over the quiet neighborhood park.

Now the stars come out. Diego sits with Mama under the big shady tree. The little brown puppy sleeps in his lap. Diego's heart feels full and warm. He looks up at the twinkly sky. "Mama," he whispers, "who will I share love with tomorrow?"
