A little preview
Toys lived in every corner of Alex's room: trains on the rug, dolls on the chair, blocks spilling like tiny towers. The floor crunched with puzzle pieces. Mama said it was time to tidy, and Alex stared at the toy mountain and felt a big sigh inside. Their friend Kofi arrived to help for the afternoon. He brought a shoebox and a grin. Alex wanted the tidy done quickly, but the mess felt like a knot that needed gentle pulling apart.
