About Mina's Sunny Start
Mina the mouse reaches preschool with a fluttery tummy and a snug backpack. She hangs up her jacket, joins the rug song, paints a bright sun, washes sticky paws, shares snack, rolls a playground ball, and waits by the window feeling proud and settled.

How to read it together
Start at the right level
Level 1 is single words for early talkers. Level 2 is short phrases. Level 3 is full storybook sentences. Switch any time, even mid-scene — the art stays put and only the language changes.
Let them find the words
Two glowing spots hide in every scene. Tap one, hear the word, then pause and wait — the wait is where your child's turn happens.
Session-ready
Therapist mode mutes the narration and lays out each scene's target words with their speech-sound tags, so a clinician models and elicits every word live.
