Theo Welcomes a Tiny Star

Theo makes room for a new baby without losing his own place in the family story.

The story, beat by beat
  1. Notice what is changing

    The new star mobile went over the new bed. Theo wondered where his old stars would go.

  2. Build Theo’s own corner

    Dad did not say, “You are too big for that.” He asked, “What should stay yours?”

  3. Choose one small helper job

    Theo chose one cloth and one tiny book. Helping could be a small choice, not a giant job.

  4. Keep a familiar ritual

    Theo switched on the star lamp and watched the quiet shapes travel across the navy tent.

  5. Make space for noise

    When the baby cried, Theo covered his ears. Mum covered them with him.

  6. Share the moon

    Theo placed the felt moon nearby. The baby watched it swing, slow and gold.

  7. Protect Theo’s own time

    When the room became quiet, Mum kept their own story time. Theo’s place had not disappeared.

  8. Keep Theo in the cuddle

    There were five arms in the family cuddle. Two of them belonged to Theo.

The character, held steady

Theo is seven, with a dark bowl cut, round amber glasses, rust overalls, an ivory striped shirt, green socks, and a felt moon pin.
