THERE'S THIS THING

A sweet and humorous Valentine’s Day story about a little girl’s first crush.

There’s this Thing. And, well... a little girl would really like to know this Thing better. Yet she’s not very brave and she doesn’t know how to ask. She tries to trap It, but catches a bear instead. An arrow with her heart on it falls helplessly to the ground. What if she tried be- ing someone else? she wonders But who? She is only herself. Why is being noticed so hard?
