Hana loves to dance in her kitchen. The sun shines in. The floor is warm. Hana spins and spins. What a happy morning!
Then Hana hears a funny sound. "U-u-u!" What is that? "U-u-u!" It comes from here. It comes from there. It comes from everywhere!
Hana looks UP through the window. Oh! Big, colorful umbrellas are twirling in the sky! Red ones. Blue ones. Yellow ones. They spin and spin, just like Hana!
"U is for umbrella!" says Hana. The umbrellas say, "U-u-u!" Hana dances and says it too. "U-u-u!" Can you say it? U-u-u!
Hana sees a big, sparkly puddle on the sidewalk. She peeks UNDER the water. What is down there? Shimmery treasures! Glowing shells and tiny bright stones!
"U is for underwater!" says Hana. The shimmery treasures glow and hum, "U-u-u!" Hana wiggles and dances. "U-u-u!" Can you wiggle too?
Hana looks UP again. Way up high! She sees fluffy clouds in a cotton-candy sky. And what is that? Something is peeking out! Something soft and sparkly!
It is a unicorn! A friendly unicorn with a shiny horn! The unicorn giggles. "U-u-u!" "U is for unicorn!" says Hana. She jumps and dances. "U-u-u!"
But then — oh no! The umbrellas stop twirling. The underwater treasures stop glowing. The unicorn hides behind a cloud. Everything is quiet. The "u-u-u" is gone!
Hana thinks and thinks. Then she remembers! She looks UP. She spins around. She calls out the magic sound — "U-u-u!" Louder! "U-U-U!" Can you say it with Hana?
It works! The umbrellas twirl back! The underwater treasures glow again! The unicorn flies down with a giggle! "U-u-u!" they all sing together. Hana found them all!
Now everyone dances! Hana dances with umbrellas UP high. She dances with treasures UNDER the water. She dances with her new unicorn friend. "U-u-u!" What a wonderful letter U day!
