Kuu the little bear wanted to try writing his own name.
“I want to be able to write Kuu, too!”
Kuu held the crayon tightly and faced the paper.

💬 I Want to Write My Name

Kuu the little bear wanted to try writing his own name. “I want to be able to write Kuu, too!” Kuu held the crayon tightly and faced the paper.

🤔 Kuu is excited because he wants to write his own name. How do you think it would feel to be able to write your own name?

But when he tried writing it… oh no!
The lines were wobbly. He couldn’t draw the round parts well either.
No matter how many times he wrote it, it didn’t look like the sample.
Kuu felt sad and discouraged.
“Maybe I just can’t do it…”

💬 Oh No, I Can’t Write It Well

But when he tried writing it… oh no! The lines were wobbly. He couldn’t draw the round parts well either. No matter how many times he wrote it, it didn’t look like the sample. Kuu felt sad and discouraged. “Maybe I just can’t do it…”

🤔 When something doesn’t go well, it can make us feel sad. What words would you like to say to Kuu?

Mother Bear said gently,
“It’s okay if you can’t do it well from the start.”
“How about practicing just a little today?”
Kuu traced the dotted lines.
A straight line went swoosh.
A round line went loop.
He practiced a little bit every day.

💬 Practice, Little by Little

Slowly, slowly.
“K”… “uu”…

“Even things I can’t do yet can become possible little by little if I practice!”
