What is you?

You are a person, which means you're made up of parts that work together like a team.

What makes you *you*

Your body is like a big toy box, it has all the pieces needed to be alive and have fun. Your heart is like a tiny drummer, keeping time so your blood can dance around your body. Your brain is like a super smart robot that helps you think, remember things, and even dream.

How you move and feel

Your muscles are like little helpers, when they get messages from your brain, they work hard to make you run, jump, or even smile. Your skin is like a blanket that keeps you warm and lets you feel things, like the softness of a pillow or the roughness of a brick wall.

You're not just one thing, you’re a whole team of parts working together, just like your favorite toy does when it moves and makes sounds!
