Case 004 · Happiness
The Case of the Sparkle
Can you solve a mystery?
Dot bounces out of bed and something feels sparkly inside. Dot’s chest feels light, legs want to move and a smile keeps appearing without even trying. What could these clues mean?
Children join Dot and Marmalade to look for body and thought clues, work out the feeling, notice the sparkle while it’s here and think about what they enjoy.
