Read the story. Zac zipped up his jacket as he walked out the door for school. The wind blew and he could see his breath. He pushed his hands down into
his pockets and felt the soft fuzz at the bottom. His mind wandered back to last winter when his baby sister, Leila, was born. Her blankets felt warm
and soft when he held her. He loved snuggling with her and telling her all of the things he shared with no one else. Leila was a good listener. He
looked forward to the peaceful time with his little sister after the long, loud days at school. Nothing had ever seemed as soft and relaxing as the
cooing sounds she made. If only the other kids in his class could be more like Leila.
