Once in a town full of colors, there was a child named Jamie.

Jamie liked to wear green shirts and yellow hats.

At school, Jamie played with both trucks and dolls.

Some children said, 'Trucks are for boys and dolls for girls!'

But Jamie felt happy with both and didn't understand why.

Jamie's best friend, Alex, said, 'You can like whatever you want!'

Together they read stories about heroes who were strong and kind.

Heroes of long ago were not just strong or just kind, but both!

Jamie learned that long ago, people who were both were honored.

They were healers, leaders, and artists in their towns.

Jamie felt proud and started to see beauty in being different.

Now, Jamie knew it was okay to be like the heroes of old.
