Smudge has been hard at work crafting an exciting new story, The Brave Teapot, but there’s a twist—this story isn’t finished yet, and Smudge needs your students’ help to bring it to life! In this imaginative tale, a little teapot discovers that bravery isn’t about size or strength, but about courage, kindness, and standing up for what’s right. Along the way, the teapot faces challenges, meets new friends, and learns valuable lessons about self-confidence and determination. But the story is still missing some key details, and that’s where your students come in!
