Illustration for scene 1: Mira studies an empty blue calendar square and worries it needs something important

Mira slid a blue paper square across the table and frowned at its empty middle.

The square had four straight sides, four sharp corners, and absolutely nothing inside it.

Beside her sat a cup of crayons, a strip of stickers, and one silver star she had been saving for something special.

The trouble was that everything special felt too big.

A dragon? A rocket? A parade?

Mira tapped the square with one claw and sighed.
