Feeling overwhelmed by sadness and whispers of self-doubt, Finn finds himself wrapped in a blanket by the window, longing for the storm inside him to clear.

Beginning: A young student (or the whole class) notices their teacher’s tattoos and starts wondering why an adult would have drawings on their skin. Some kids might think it's cool, while others may have been told that tattoos are bad or scary. Tattoos are art and a form of self-expression. Everyone has different ways of telling their story. Judging others based on appearances is not fair. Creativity comes in many forms—books, paintings, music, and even tattoos! Diversity makes the world a more beautiful place Middle: The teacher shares the meaning behind some of their tattoos—maybe one represents family, another is a favorite book character, and another is a beautiful design they loved. They explain that tattoos are like artwork on skin, just like paintings in a museum or illustrations in a book. The students begin to see tattoos in a new way and start thinking about what kind of art or stories they would want to express. End: The class embraces the idea that tattoos are just another way of sharing stories and creativity. Maybe the students create their own “tattoos” with washable markers or drawings on paper, designing artwork that represents their favorite things. The book ends with the teacher reminding them that everyone expresses themselves in different ways, and that’s what makes the world colorful and exciting!

Will something crazy happen?” Finally, he couldn’t wait any longer. One quiet day, Mr. Bumble tiptoed into the gorilla’s enclosure. The Pink Gorilla stared at him with big, curious eyes. Slowly, Mr. Bumble reached out his hand and… tapped the Pink Gorilla on his right shoulder. Suddenly, the gorilla stood up, roared, and started chasing him! “AHHHH!” Mr. Bumble screamed.
