to my
dad or one of my cousins. If someone annoys me really, really, really a lot.
You get frustrated?
Yeah, especially when there's someone at my jiu-jitsu class and I can't beat them in a match. There's this thing I do called Godzilla Mode.
Whoa, tell me about Godzilla Mode. Okay. We'll discuss it after the story. So I would love to ask you a question. When you are feeling these big things, these big feelings, do you ever think to yourself, I want to make something? Do you ever feel creative? You have made a mode that you go into, right? Well, today we're going to read about a girl.

This little girl is going to experience some big emotions. And I can't wait for you to see what she does with them. Are you ready? Okay. Today's story is called Nunu and the Sea. The story was written by Isabella Kung. And it's read today by Mommy and... Phillip. Phillip. Are you ready? Ready. Okay. Nunu doesn't understand. And in the picture, we see Nunu, and she looks furious. She's really upset. And she's going into her room. Her chest pounds. Her head burns. Her heart raps. And so we see her. She has slammed her bedroom door.
What is the story of Nunu and the Sea and how does it begin?
She goes, ahhh! And she goes to her desk and throws things on the ground. And then she takes something special. It looks like it's a little origami house. When I say origami, I mean something that's made out of paper that's been folded in such a way that it looks like something else. And this is a piece of paper that's been folded to look like a house. And she rips it apart. And it's all too much. She's laying on her back. She has shredded some things. She's crying. She looks really, really upset. Right? But it looks like maybe she does origami because there's an origami boat and there's an origami crane. Right? In the picture as well. And so she sails away. Okay. So her imagination has built up.
With the world's biggest piece of paper she made about...
She has built a rainstorm from her tears.
How does Nunu use origami to transform her big emotions into something tangible?
And she has taken her origami boat and put it into the water and it has grown big enough that she can jump into it. And so she has. And through the waves of her sadness from the crying, she sails. The sea is mighty. The sea is shifting. The sea is boundless. And she sails away in her ship that she has made. The sea is empty, right? It's just her tears. But we can see little bits and pieces of the paper that she ripped up, right? Floating in the water. And Nunu is alone.
Hello?
Anyone? She shouts. But we can see all around her are those bits of paper that she's ripped up and thrown into the water. But she does look alone, right? Or so she thinks. She'd also grabbed her backpack. when she got into this boat and inside of her backpack was that paper crane that jumps out and then gives her a little kiss and shows her that she also has a book in her backpack.
What happens when Nunu sails her paper boat across the sea of her tears?
And so Nunu decides to make more paper origami creatures. And so she does and more. She's got a dragonfly and a butterfly and more and a squirrel and maybe a fox and all these different creatures made from paper. And suddenly the boat is too small. She's got tons of critters in there, doesn't she? Nunu bravely lets go. of what keeps her afloat and she takes her boat and rips it up to create something different and what is she creating you ask it's a sea turtle and so in this something new and
all her origami friends are flying off and floating around and following
her they are following her right
i'm kind of worried about that giant elephant
Well, the sea recedes. Do you know what it means to recede?
It
means to pull back, to pull away. So the sea recedes and the sea reveals and the sea reflects. So she takes a minute and she looks at what she's come through and what she has done and her creations, right? And Nunu understands now. And so now she decides to fix the thing that she broke.
