for your 2nd Grader.
Once upon a time there was a girl named Lennon who lost someone special and she found solace in the memories they shared. Determined to keep those memories alive, she started to paint all the happy moments they had on a giant canvas in her room.
Her little brother Kevin, curious about her artwork, suggested that maybe they could create a gallery in their backyard to celebrate all the beautiful memories, inviting friends and neighbors to share in her journey.
On the day of the gallery their friends and family arrived with their very own special stories of the loved one they had lost Showing that you don't have to grieve alone and it's ok to be sad sometimes . When surrended by those who understand you can share the feelings and help ease the burdon of loss. As the sun began to set, the little gallery transformed into a glowing lantern of warmth and love, where everyone shared laughter and tears under the twinkling stars.
As the night deepened, a gentle breeze carried the sound of distant music. The girl and her brother followed it to a hidden clearing where playful fireflies danced to the rhythm, making it a magical ending to a heartfelt gathering.
It felt like a final good bye from their loved one Inspired by the magical night, the girl began to write a book about their beloved family member, sprinkling it with stories and memories from all who attended the gallery night.
