About this story
Six-year-old Mia loves school, but she sits alone at the lunch table every day, watching other children laugh and share stories, wishing for a friend. Then one sunny morning, a warm, gentle presence settles beside her on the bench: Sunny, an invisible friend with golden eyes and a voice like wind chimes. But Sunny is no ordinary imaginary playmate — she is a little voice for kindness. 'Share one with someone nearby,' she whispers when Mia has two crackers, and Mia takes a deep breath and crosses the cafeteria to a boy named Leo whose snack fell on the floor. One brave kindness at a time — a shared cracker, a drawn balloon for a crying girl named Zoe — Mia discovers that the friend she was wishing for was something she could build herself. A warm story about sharing, gentle courage, and making friends.
