William and the Very First Tooth

Ages 3–5

When William discovers a wiggly tooth, he feels a mix of nerves and excitement, learning that growing up is a gentle, natural adventure.

Children learn that change, even physical changes like losing a tooth, is a positive milestone that shows they are growing strong.

One morning, William felt something new. While eating his crunchy apple, a little wiggle happened right inside his mouth. William touched the spot with a curious finger.

It was a loose tooth! William wiggled it again. It moved back and forth, just a little bit. He felt a tickle of nerves, but also a tiny bit of pride.

William found his favorite river stone in his pocket and squeezed it tight. He took a deep breath. Growing up meant things changed, but he was ready for the change.
