Mei sitting at a wooden kitchen table in a bright, sunny kitchen, happily drawing in her sketchbook with colorful crayons spread around her. Colorful fruits sit in a bowl on the table nearby. In the background, a sunny kitchen window lets in warm golden light, with green trees visible outside.

Mei loved to draw. Every day, she sat at the sunny kitchen table and filled her sketchbook with pictures. She drew cats, stars, flowers, and trees. "Drawing is my favorite thing!" said Mei.

Mei sitting at the kitchen table looking tired and droopy, holding a crayon loosely over her open sketchbook. Her eyes are half-closed and her nose is a little red. In the background, the sunny kitchen with colorful fruit bowl on the counter and window with green trees outside.

But one morning, Mei did not feel like herself. Her nose was sniffly. Her eyes were heavy. She picked up her crayon, but her hand felt too tired to draw. "Oh no," said Mei. "I cannot finish my picture."

Mei's mom kneeling beside Mei at the kitchen table, gently touching Mei's forehead. Mei looks up at her mom with curious, tired eyes. The sketchbook sits open on the table. In the background, the bright kitchen with fruit bowl and sunlight streaming through the window.

Mei's mom came over and felt Mei's forehead with a gentle hand. "You look tired, little one," said her mom. "I think your body needs some care today." Mei looked up. "How do I feel better?" she asked.

Mei's mom holding up one finger with a big warm smile, standing in the kitchen. Mei is looking up at her mom with wide, excited eyes, sitting at the table with her sketchbook. In the background, the cheerful kitchen with colorful fruit and sunshine.

"I know three magical health rules!" said her mom with a warm smile. "They help your body grow strong and feel happy. Rule number one — wash your hands with bubbly soap!" Mei's eyes got wide. "Magical rules? Tell me more!"

Mei standing on a small step stool at the bubbly bathroom sink, happily scrubbing her hands with foamy, bubbly soap under running water. Mei's mom stands beside her, smiling proudly. In the background, a cheerful bathroom with bright tiles and a mirror above the sink.

Mei and her mom went to the cheerful bathroom. Mei turned on the water and squeezed the soap. Bubbles popped and fizzed between her fingers! "Scrub, scrub, scrub!" sang Mei. "Wash the germs away!" The bubbly soap made her hands sparkle clean.

Mei sitting on the floor near the bathroom, drawing in her sketchbook with crayons. The sketchbook shows a colorful drawing of two hands with rainbow bubbles around them. Mei looks happy and proud. In the background, the cheerful bathroom doorway with bright tiles visible.

Mei had an idea! She sat down and opened her sketchbook. She drew a picture of two hands covered in rainbow bubbles. Under it she wrote, "Wash your hands!" "That is a wonderful drawing," said her mom. "You are making a healthy guide!"

Mei standing at the kitchen table looking excitedly at a big bowl filled with red strawberries, orange slices, yellow bananas, green grapes, and purple plums. Mei's mom is placing the fruit bowl on the table with a smile. In the background, the sunny kitchen with warm light and green trees outside the window.

"Now for rule number two," said her mom. "Eat yummy rainbow fruits!" Back in the sunny kitchen, Mei saw red strawberries, orange slices, yellow bananas, green grapes, and purple plums. "It really is a rainbow!" giggled Mei.

Mei sitting at the kitchen table, drawing in her sketchbook with one hand while holding a half-eaten strawberry in the other. The sketchbook shows a colorful row of rainbow fruits. The fruit bowl is nearby on the table. In the background, the bright sunny kitchen with fruit on the counter and warm golden light.

Mei took a big, juicy bite of strawberry. "Mmm! Fruits give your body energy," said her mom. "They help you feel strong." Mei ate a little bit of every color. Then she opened her sketchbook and drew all the rainbow fruits in a row.

Mei walking hand-in-hand with her mom down a short hallway toward Mei's bedroom. Mei is mid-yawn with her free hand near her mouth. She carries her sketchbook tucked under her arm. In the background, a hallway with soft lighting leading to a bedroom doorway where twinkly star curtains are just visible.

After eating, Mei yawned a big yawn. "I think it is time for rule number three," said her mom softly. "Rest when your body feels sleepy." Mei's mom took her hand, and they walked to Mei's soft bedroom together.

Mei tucked into her cozy bed with soft blankets, eyes peacefully closed, with a gentle smile. Her sketchbook rests on the nightstand beside her. Mei's mom is gently pulling the blanket up around Mei. In the background, the soft bedroom with twinkly star curtains glowing gently in the window and warm dim light.

Mei snuggled into her cozy bed. The twinkly star curtains glowed softly in the window. "Rest helps your body heal and grow," whispered her mom. Mei closed her eyes and drifted into a warm, peaceful nap. Zzz, zzz, zzz.

Mei sitting up in bed looking bright-eyed and happy, holding her open sketchbook showing three colorful drawings — bubbly hands, rainbow fruits, and a sleeping girl under stars. She has a big proud smile. In the background, the soft bedroom with twinkly star curtains and warm afternoon sunlight peeking through.

When Mei woke up, she felt wonderful! Her nose was not sniffly. Her eyes were bright. She grabbed her sketchbook and drew a picture of herself sleeping under the stars. "I have three healthy drawings now!" cheered Mei. "My Healthy Me guide is done!"

Mei standing outside in the friendly neighborhood, proudly holding up her open sketchbook to show a small group of friends gathered around her. The children are all smiling and cheering. Mei looks strong, happy, and confident. In the background, a friendly neighborhood with green trees, colorful flowers swaying in the breeze, and a bright blue sky.

The next day, Mei took her sketchbook outside. She showed her friends her special drawings. "Wash your hands! Eat rainbow fruits! And rest when you are sleepy!" said Mei. Her friends smiled and cheered. Mei felt strong, happy, and proud. Taking care of yourself is the best kind of magic!
