Hi there, friends! How are you today? Have you been reading lots of fun books? That’s great! Have you played outside in the sunshine yet? It’s sunny here, and we’re so happy to play outside. Now, let’s read a wonderful story together!
Once upon a time, there was a Rainbow who felt very sad. Panda Bear noticed and asked, “Rainbow, why do you look so sad? Your colors are gray today.”
Rainbow replied, “I need kindness to make my colors bright again. Can you help me, Panda Bear?”
Panda Bear said, “Be kind, brave, patient, proud, honest, fair, funny, and a good friend. Let your true colors shine!”
Smile at people and share your toys. Being kind makes everyone happy!
It’s okay to feel scared sometimes. Helping a friend shows you care.
Take a deep breath when you’re upset. Staying calm helps you feel better.
Panda Bear said, “I’m proud of you! You’re a great friend and always kind.”
It’s better to tell the truth. Being honest feels good inside.
Playing fair and standing up for friends shows you care a lot.
Make someone laugh by being silly. It’s fun to make others smile!
Playing with friends is fun. Friends are always there when you need them.
You’re amazing and cool! Rainbow’s colors are bright again because of kindness.
Wasn’t that a lovely story? Now, let’s read another one!
Imagine if the sun didn’t want to get out of bed! One day, the Moon told the Sun, “It’s time to wake up!” But the Sun said, “I’m too tired and feel a bit alone.”
The Moon understood and said, “Sometimes I feel the same way. But remember, you are loved and bring joy to everyone.”
The Sun decided to get up and shine, even if it wasn’t the brightest day. The Sun and Moon knew that every day is special, even if it’s a little cloudy.
Isn’t that a beautiful message? Sometimes we feel sad, and that’s okay. Remember, you are loved and important. I hope you enjoyed the stories today. Take care, and see you next time!
Colorful Acts of Kindness: Let’s make a kindness rainbow! Each time you do something kind, draw a colorful stripe on a piece of paper. Try to fill the whole page with colors by the end of the week. What kind things can you do today to add more colors?
Bravery Badge: Create a bravery badge using paper and crayons. Think of a time when you were brave, like helping a friend or trying something new. Share your story with a family member or friend and wear your badge proudly!
Sunshine Jar: Decorate a jar and fill it with small notes of things that make you happy or things you are grateful for. Whenever you feel a little sad, pick a note from the jar to remind you of the joy you bring to others, just like the Sun in the story.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

[Music] Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. How are you doing today? Have you been reading lots of books on your own? [Music] That sounds awesome! [Music] Have you had your daily dose of sunshine yet? It’s nice and sunny here today, and we are really happy that we get to play outside. [Music]
Well, it’s time to get started on our reading, and today we have “The Colors of Kindness” by Kristen Bellamy and Michael Vacher. Let’s have a look!
**The Colors of Kindness**
“Hello, Rainbow,” Panda Bear said. “Why do you look so sad today? Your smile is upside down, and there are tears in your eyes. Your beautiful colors are gray.”
Rainbow forced a smile but was sad today. It was true. “I’m a rainbow that gets brighter with kindness, and today my colors can’t shine through. I want my colors back, Panda Bear, but I need your help to find mine. What advice can you give me, Panda Bear? Can we make my colors shine?”
“Be kind and brave, be patient and proud, be honest and fair,” said Bear. “Be funny or silly, be friendly or warm, and as magnificent as you dare. Just follow the colors of kindness and let your true colors shine through. Follow what feels right,” Panda Bear said. “I believe in you.”
**Be Kind**
“Smile at someone as you pass them by or share your toys with a friend. Use your big heart, be gentle and kind, and a smile is what you have in the end.”
**Be Brave**
“Being brave isn’t always that easy. It’s okay to feel threatened or scared, but when your shining string helps a friend in need, it really proves that you care.”
**Be Patient**
“Being patient and calm is sometimes hard, especially when you’ve had a bad day. Take a deep breath and don’t get upset. Keep your mind at ease.”
**Be Proud**
“Panda Bear said, ‘I’m so proud of you, and you should be proud of you too. You’re helpful and kind, such a great friend, and your intentions are always so true.’”
**Be Honest**
“Telling fibs to your family feels icky. It’s a much better feeling to be truthful and honest,” the colorful rainbow replied.
**Be Fair**
“Following the rules can be tricky. Sometimes it’s hard to remember to act fair. Standing up for a friend when they are being treated unfairly proves how much you truly care.”
**Be Funny**
“Making someone laugh is easy. You can dance around all silly and make a funny face like me.”
**Be a Friend**
“It’s fun to play games with each other. I love to hear my friends laugh with glee. I love that they are always there when I need them.”
**Be Magnificent**
“You’re beautiful, impressive, astounding, dazzling, spectacular, and cool. You followed the colors of kindness, and now you’re bright again, Rainbow. You rule!”

Now, let’s move on to the next story.
Today we have a book called “The Day the Sun Wouldn’t Get Out of Bed” by Erwin Black. Imagine if the sun wouldn’t get out of bed! [Music] Wouldn’t that be really sad? It would be because I love sunshine.
**The Day the Sun Wouldn’t Get Out of Bed**
The instinct to console a loved one is strong in each of us. We can feel pressure to fix a situation or motivate someone to move on and put what they’re going through behind them. Never underestimate the power and effectiveness of simply listening. That is so true! Sometimes just being there with someone helps.
“A whole bunch of time to get up,” said Moon to Sun. “My shift is over, and yours has begun.”
“But I don’t want to,” said Sun to Moon. “I’m still too tired, still too sunny.”
“You’re being lazy.”
“I’m tired too! My night has ended; the day should be new.”
“I’m not being lazy. I don’t mean to moan. I can’t create today. I feel a bit alone.”
“But the day is you, so you must go. Now is your time. I won’t hear a no. I can’t do it; every day is the same.”
“I’m really sorry, Moon. You are not to blame. This isn’t funny, Sun, and cannot be true. The world will wake in darkness with the sky without you.”
“I wish I was joking, but I think I’ve lost my light. The world should carry on as if it was the night.”
“Okay,” said Moon. “I think I understand how you’re feeling today. It’s not something you plan. All night alone, I find it hard too. When I feel like this, my light is slightly blue.”
“Every night the same; you feel less keen. I feel less whole and only half can be seen. These things are tough; it has to be said, and sometimes you wish you could stay in your bed.”
“We’ve been doing this a while, my friend, my chum, and sometimes that means hard days will come. But you should know you are loved by all from the moment you rise until you finally fall. You bring life to many and hope to some. When you can’t be seen, it isn’t much fun.”
“What you choose to do is only your choice, and that’s all you will hear from this Mooney voice.”
“Thank you,” said Sun. “I agree, old friend. I’m going to get up. The night should end. This morning I’ll use a cloudy day. It won’t be my brightest, but that is okay.”
So the two carried on through the day and the night. Sometimes they were dim, and other times bright. Sun never forgot what Moon had said: “There is always a reason to get out of bed.”
Wasn’t that such a beautiful message? Sometimes we have cloudy days, sometimes we have half moons or the crescent moon and the full moon, and they’re all okay. Sometimes we feel sad, and sometimes we feel happy. But do know that you are loved and that you matter. And sometimes it’s okay to stay in bed too!
I hope you enjoyed “The Day the Sun Wouldn’t Get Out of Bed.” Such a lovely story! Get your own copy of this beautiful story in the links in the description below.
