Amara woke up to a bright, sunny day. Yellow sunshine came through the big windows. It filled her playroom with warm, golden light. "What a pretty day!" said Amara.
Amara looked around her playroom. She saw so many toys! Yellow blocks. Yellow balls. And something round on a string. "What is that?" asked Amara. She picked it up. It was a yo-yo!
"Yo-yo!" said Amara. "Y-y-y… yo-yo!" She made the yo-yo go up and down. Up and down! "Y-y-y! That sound is so fun!" said Amara. "Yippee!"
Amara looked at the toy shelf. She saw a soft, fuzzy friend. It had big, round eyes and fluffy fur. "Who are you?" asked Amara. It was a toy yak!
"Yak!" said Amara. "Y-y-y… yak!" She hugged the fuzzy yak tight. It was soft and squishy. "Y-y-y starts yak AND yo-yo!" said Amara. "Yippee!"
Amara found a basket of yellow blocks. Yellow, yellow, yellow! She stacked them up high. "Y-y-y… yellow!" she said. "Yellow starts with Y too! Yippee!"
"How many Y words can I find?" asked Amara. She held up her yo-yo. "Yo-yo!" She hugged her yak. "Yak!" She touched a yellow ball. "Yellow!" Can you say them? Y-y-y!
Amara tried to spin her yo-yo again. But oh no! The string got all tangled up. It would not go up. It would not go down. "Oh," said Amara. She felt a little stuck.
Amara took a deep breath. She looked at her yo-yo. "Y-y-y… YES!" she said. "Yes, I can do it!" She pulled the string, nice and slow. She untangled it, bit by bit.
The string came free! The yo-yo went up and down again. Up and down! "I did it!" said Amara. "Y-y-y… YIPPEE!" She jumped up and spun around. What a good feeling!
The sun began to set. The yellow light turned soft and warm. Amara picked up her fuzzy yak. "Y-y-y… yak. Y-y-y… yo-yo. Y-y-y… yellow. Y-y-y… YES!" She smiled big. "YAY for Y!"
Amara hugged her yak close. "Goodnight, yak," she whispered. "Goodnight, yo-yo. Goodnight, yellow room." She yawned a big yawn. Y-y-y… yawn! And that was the best Y day ever.
