The Kite on the School Flagpole
A little red kite has hung on the school flagpole since the last day of summer. When the children come back, she waves her ribbon every morning — until the wind decides she has waited long enough. A gentle back-to-school story about feeling stuck, and the quiet friend who notices.

Summer ended with a kite on the flagpole. School began, and everyone came back but her. One small boy always looked up at her.
So she waved her ribbon, every single morning. The whole school waved back at her. Then autumn wind came, pulling at her string.
The string snapped, and she was free. Without a hand, a kite only falls. She lay in the hedge as everyone left.
The boy from the hedge found her. He mended her with his own spare shoelace. At recess, every hand took a turn holding.
Held tight, she flew higher than ever before.
