Munachi's Big Heart

Munachi closed her eyes.

She thought about Shelly. She thought about her family. She thought about Chidubem's little hugs and kisses.

She thought about the stories she had drawn. She thought about all the people who had gathered to listen to her.

And she smiled.

Munachi knew she was still learning.

Sometimes she would feel sad. Sometimes she would miss Shelly. Sometimes school would be difficult.

But she knew she was loved. She knew she could ask for help. She knew she could pray.

And she knew that kindness was one of the most beautiful things she could give to another person.
