Doodle Library Cart Roll

A library cart crossing a drizzly farm path becomes a rolling story-hour procession. Haylee hears the wheels and weather as parts of one tale; Emmitt listens for the words beneath the noise. The dominant anchor—“Roll-roll, hush-hush, hear the story come”—moves from sound play into focused listening.
