Pip and the First Domino
Pip stands at the head of a long line of dominoes, terrified that if he falls he will hurt everyone behind him. A gentle whisper helps him see his fall differently, not as a disaster, but as the start of something beautiful. This is a story about courage, letting go, and trusting what comes next. For every little one who is afraid their own actions might hurt the people they love.

Pip stood first in a long domino line. If he fell, he would knock everyone down. So he held himself stiff and still.
The whole curving line waited behind him. He would not move and risk their fall. The others waited, and the game never began.
The playroom grew quiet, stuck and sad. A child whispered, it is a picture. Pip took a breath and let himself tip.
A soft wave rippled gently down the line. It was not harm, it was flowing color. The falling tiles made a glowing spiral.
Now Pip leads the most beautiful picture.
