Happy Monday, Storybeam families! Today on Monday Magic we are starting the week with the most important question any little one could ever ask themselves. We are reading What Do You Do With a Chance by Kobi Yamada. A beautifully brave story about a child who spots a chance floating by and is not quite sure what to do with it. What happens when we let a chance slip away? And what happens when we finally find the courage to grab it with both hands?

Look for What Do You Do With a Chance on your next library trip!

Our Storybeam Suggestion this week: if today's story inspired your little one to reach out and grab every chance that comes their way, check out the companion book What Do You Do With and Idea? also by Kobi Yamada. It’s a wonderful story about nurturing your creativity and bringing big ideas to life: https://bookshop.org/a/125553/9781938298073
