Little things add up

3. A line runs across his picture when Dot bumps the table by accident.
4. Each thing is small, but together they make a heavy day.

Tell someone

1. Kit tries a big smile, but it slips right off.
2. He tells his grown-up about the toast, the juice, the rain and the picture.
3. His grown-up just listens and does not try to fix a thing.
4. The cloud over Kit's head looks smaller, because telling someone helps a heavy day feel lighter.

Get cozy

1. Kit has a snack and some water, curls up with a soft blanket and reads a favorite book.
2. A hug helps too.
3. The rain sounds soft now, like a lullaby.
