A poem by Hayya Habibi
This girl lives near a jungle,
This day, the girl went to the jungle,
There was lots of animal in the jungle,
One of her favorite animals was the bird on her shoulder.

Kid’s Stories Project: Milla and Mayana had a Ballet Class
Story and Illustration by: Hayya Habibi
Once upon a time, Milla woke up from bed. She ate breakfast and woke Mayana up. She told her that she was going to have a ballet class that day. Mayana wanted to join too so Milla allowed her and took Mayana with her. They two got ready then went to the ballet school. On their way to school, Mayana asked Milla: “What’s the name of the school?”
Milla said: “Skölan”
After half an hour they arrived at the school and went inside. Milla showed Mayana where the class was. They went inside the class but the teacher wasn’t there. Milla’s friend, Naia, said that the teacher was late so all the children waited for her.
Few minutes later the teacher came so the children prepared to dance. Mayana was so happy to learn ballet. They all danced happily until they didn’t realised that it was time to get home. Milla and Mayana tidied their stuffs up quickly and went home together.

One beautiful day when the sun rose up, Milla and her little sister Mayana went to a park that was nearby.

They played and had so much fun, but then it was almost time to break the fast so Milla and Mayana went home. They enjoyed the food and they slept.

Kid’s Stories Project: The Day The Crayons Get Sad
My kid’s been really into Drew Daywalt’s The Day The Crayons Quit, a funny and intriguing book about crayons that don’t want to color anymore. It was started around two months ago when she and her friends at school acted out a play based on the story (she was the white crayon by the way 🙂 ). Since then, she couldn’t stop watching the video and re-reading the book. Last week, she came up with an adaptation story of the original one. It’s a kind of fan fiction. I must say, of course, that the idea and the intellectual copyright belong to Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers (as the illustrator). My kid is just writing her version of the story. The book itself is really recommended for young readers. Find more about the book here, and here or watch the video here.
So, here is my daughter’s version. Continue reading “Kid’s Stories Project: The Day The Crayons Get Sad”
