Story by Jeane Paul Bustamante, Dayhome Educator in Edmonton
Rejea and Blake settled in to share a book. Rejea, who loved reading and appreciated a good story, invited Blake to join him. “Blake, come sit here,” he said, pointing to a blue chair across from him, where he was showing off pictures of different sea animals.
Blake smiled and sat, ready to listen to the world that Rejea was about to bring. Watching them from a distance, it was clear just how connected they were. Rejea’s lively expressions and emphasis on certain parts made the characters jump off the page. At the same time, Blake listened intently, fully absorbed in every word. Sharing a story showed how a simple story can make a bond, a nice moment of friendship.
