Mia notices her family is feeling gloomy, She brightens their day with a dance. Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Family Dance Party” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Female Story Begins: 9:36 Family Dance Party Excerpt: Mia stepped away from the window and started to leave the room. Her family didn’t even seem to notice. So she slowly walked up the stairs to her room, thinking and thinking about what to do. As she thought, she opened her closet to see if she could get any ideas. Her eyes immediately alighted on a bright yellow tutu. “Oh! Now I have an idea!” Mia said to herself. “There might be no sunshine outside today, but I bet I can bring the sunshine inside, and bring it to my family! Maybe that would cheer them up!” Today’s Meditation: Draw gentle shapes in the soothing sand as you prepare for today's story.
