About this episode
📖 It is story time at school, and something unexpected happens.
Maya’s teacher asks her to come to the front of the class and read a story aloud.
Maya feels her heart beat fast. Her hands feel a little shaky.
Everyone is looking at her… and she feels nervous.
What if she makes a mistake?
Maya takes a deep breath and begins to read.
At first, her voice is quiet.
But slowly, she grows stronger and more confident with every word.
