This is Mei. Mei loves to draw! She has a big sketchbook and lots of colorful crayons. What will Mei draw today?
Mei picks up a yellow crayon. She draws a big, round face. It has two eyes and a big, big smile!
Look! The happy face starts to glow! It wiggles and wiggles. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle! Can you wiggle too?
Mei picks up a blue crayon. She draws another face. This face has droopy eyes and one tiny tear. Oh! This face is sad.
The sad face starts to glow too. It glows soft and blue. Aww. It is okay to feel sad. Mei gives the sad face a little pat.
Now Mei picks up an orange crayon. She draws a face with big, round eyes. And a big, round mouth. Oooh! This face is surprised!
The surprised face starts to glow! It glows bright orange. Oooh! it says. What a fun face!
Mei picks up a purple crayon. She starts to draw… but wait. This face looks funny. It is not happy. It is not sad. It is not surprised. What is this face?
Mei feels confused. She scrunches up her nose. Hmm, she says. She does not know this feeling yet. That is okay! Let's think, think, think.
Mei has a big idea! She picks up a pink crayon. She draws a face with big, sparkly eyes. And the biggest smile of all. This is a LOVE face!
The love face glows bright and pink! And look — all the other faces light up too! Happy wiggles! Sad feels better! Surprised says Oooh! They all dance together. Every feeling is okay!
Mei hugs her sketchbook tight. All the faces glow warm and soft. Happy, sad, surprised, confused, and love. Every feeling shines. And love makes them all shine brighter. Goodnight, little faces. Goodnight!
