Whisper Ladybug Chant
Maple Hollow—skip, then see;
One red ladybug rested quietly.
Lex whispered, “Tiny friend nearby.”
Brandon checked the space was wide.
Garden shed—wiggle, then pause;
Lex moved one ribbon, small and slow.
Brandon stayed outside its sweep;
Both watched where the ladybug would creep.
Listening stump—what shall we choose?
Say “Happy day,” or rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Ladybug-loop!”
Then leave the little insect room.
Ribbon whispers in make-believe play
Sent tiny celebration sounds through the gray.
Check the space, wiggle, pause;
Joy leaves room for one and all.
