MONDAY- Willa and the Switched Stream

By CJ Coop

Willa the Otter had practiced her water dance for weeks. Every twirl, splash, and swirl was perfect—until the riverbed shifted overnight.

Her dance spot was gone! “Oh no,” she sighed. But as she paddled around, Willa noticed new bends and sparkles in the water. “Maybe the river is giving me a new stage!” she smiled.

Instead of quitting, Willa flowed with the change, flipping and gliding in new ways. Her dance was better than ever, and the crowd cheered.

 Willa learned that when life changes its path, adapting can lead to something even more magical.

TUESDAY - A Bedtime Thanks

By Rick Allen

Liam snuggled into bed as Dad opened his favorite book.

“Once upon a time, a little squirrel found the biggest acorn ever,” Dad read. “But he shared it with his friends.” Each friend thanked him for the gift.

Liam’s eyes widened. “That was nice of him!”

Dad smiled. “What are you grateful for today?”

Liam thought for a moment. “My toys… and my sandwich… and you, Daddy.”

Dad hugged him tightly. “I’m grateful for you, buddy.”

As Liam drifted to sleep, he whispered, “Thank you for my stories and dreams.” From then on, bedtime always ended with a little gratitude.

WEDNESDAY -  Bristle’s Colour Chaos

By CJ Coop

Bristle the Porcupine Painter was creating a giant mural, spring, summer, autumn, winter—all painted with care. But a gust of wind knocked over her paint pots!

The colours swirled into messy, unexpected shades. Bristle wanted to cry. “It’s ruined!” she sniffled. But then she saw how the new colours danced together, creating beautiful blends she hadn’t imagined.

So she painted a new version, filled with swirling seasons and wild skies. Everyone loved it. Bristle learned that sometimes a mistake is just a different beginning, and adapting your plan can make something even better than before.

THURSDAY - The Puzzle Piece

By Rick Allen

“I can’t find where this piece goes,” Ava huffed, gripping the puzzle piece tightly.

Mom sat beside her, pointing gently. “Let’s look at the colors. Where do you see a blue corner?”

Ava scanned the puzzle, her frustration melting as she searched. “There!” she exclaimed, trying the piece.

It didn’t fit. Ava frowned, but Mom smiled. “That’s okay. Let’s keep trying.”

“Can you find another blue corner?” Ava scanned the pieces.

After a few more tries, Ava’s piece clicked into place. “I did it!” she beamed.

Mom hugged her. “Every try makes you better, sweetie. You’re learning, and that’s amazing.”

FRIDAY - Three Little  Words

By Rick Allen

As the nightlight cast a soft glow, Charlie snuggled under his blanket after Dad read him his bedtime story. “Daddy, why do you say ‘I love you’ every night?” he asked, his eyes curious.

Dad sat beside him, brushing a hand over Charlie’s hair. “Because I want you to know it every day. No matter what happens, you’re my most important person.”

Charlie smiled. “Even when I’m messy?”

Dad chuckled. “Especially then.”

Leaning down, Dad kissed his forehead. “Goodnight, Charlie. I love you.”

Charlie yawned, his heart full. “Love you too, Daddy.” The words floated between them, warm and unbreakable.

SATURDAY - The Story Becomes Reality

By DR Rawson

Doc leaned back in his chair, with the “TinyTales Book: Lessons for Youth” resting in his hands. “The key to our future,” he murmured, “isn’t locked in vaults — it’s in the hearts of children.”

He opened the book and traced the glowing 25 traits engraved on the page: Love, Respect, Kindness, and more. “You’ll guide them,” he whispered as if speaking to the words themselves.

“Stories can build worlds,” Doc said, standing. “And character traits? They build people.”

With a grin, he spoke the magic words: “For every child, a story to tell!”

The portal swirled open, leading into TinyTales Land—his dream come to life—a land for kids, for learning, for building the global future one trait at a time.

You might ask, “What did he do next…

SUNDAY - Sammy's Choice

By Rick Allen

Sammy Squirrel overheard friends whispering about Lenny Lizard’s struggles with math. They giggled, planning to spread rumors.

Uncomfortable with their intentions, Sammy intervened with a thoughtful suggestion. “Lenny is working hard to improve. Instead of spreading rumors, why don’t we offer our help?” he proposed.

Sammy’s friends paused, considering his words. Realizing the kindness in his suggestion, they agreed and approached Lenny together, offering to help him with his studies.

Grateful, Lenny accepted their help, and his grades soon improved.

Sammy’s decision to transform gossip into supportive action strengthened all their friendships and fostered a positive spirit within their classroom.
