Hana loved to dance. She danced in the kitchen. She danced in the hall. She danced and danced and danced! Today, Hana laced up her boots. She was going on a hike!
At the start of the trail, someone was waiting. It was the letter H! H was big and bouncy and bright red. "Hi, Hana!" said H. "Hi, H!" said Hana. "Let's hike!"
Hana and the Letter H walked up the path. The breeze blew soft and cool. The grass tickled their toes. "What will we find?" asked Hana. "H things!" said the Letter H. "H-h-h!"
They walked past a bush. And what was on the bush? A hat! A big, floppy, purple hat. "Hat starts with H!" said Hana. "H-h-h! Hat!" they laughed together.
They walked a little more. Hana looked up at the sky. A puffy white cloud was shaped like a heart! "Heart starts with H!" said Hana. "H-h-h! Heart!" they laughed together.
Splish! Splash! What was that sound? They peeked around a big sunny rock. A silly hippo was splashing in the sparkling pond! Water flew everywhere!
"Hippo starts with H!" said Hana. The hippo blew a big bubble. POP! "H-h-h! Hippo!" they all laughed together. The water smelled fresh like rain.
Then — WHOOSH! A big gust of wind came. It blew and blew. It picked up the Letter H and carried it away! Up, up, up into the sky! "Oh no!" said Hana. "Come back, H!"
Hana knew what to do. She clapped her hands. CLAP, CLAP, CLAP! She hummed a happy song. "Hmmmmm!" Can you hum too? The Letter H heard her! It wiggled. It jiggled. It floated back down!
"You came back!" said Hana. She hugged the Letter H tight. It felt warm and smooth. "Hug starts with H too!" said the Letter H. "H-h-h! Hug!" they laughed together.
They climbed to the tip-top of the hill. They could see everything! The pond, the trees, the flowers. Hana took a deep, cozy breath. "Ahhhh," she sighed. "H is for HAPPY!"
And then — they danced! Hana and the Letter H danced all the way down the hill. They danced past the pond. They danced past the bush. They danced all the way home. H is for hike. H is for heart. H is for hippo and hat. But best of all? H is for HAPPY!
