Where Is My Sparkle

Every child has a sparkle - a quiet, powerful light that shines in their own way.

For some, it sparkles brightly through laughter, movement, or creativity.

For others, it glows more softly - in patience, courage,

sensitivity, or in the way they notice beauty others might miss.

This story is a reminder that being different is not something to hide or fix -

it is part of what makes your light extraordinary.

Children who feel "different" sometimes compare their sparkle to someone else's.

They may not yet see how deeply their light touches

the people around them, or how their unique rhythm, insight, and heart

change the world in quiet but meaningful ways.

As parents, caregivers, and teachers, we can help them see it.

By noticing their small triumphs and celebrating their kindness,

we show them that having a sparkle

doesn't mean being like everyone else -

it means being bravely, beautifully themselves.

So when you read this story together,

pause on the pages that feel true for you.

Ask, "Where do you think your sparkle shines?"

And let them answer in their own wonderful way.

Because every sparkle matters.

And the world shines brighter

because of theirs.
