About This Story

An ink spill interrupts Mochi’s rainbow drawing and brings up frustration. After a pause, he tries a kinder way of speaking to himself and turns the dark mark into a little black kitten.

Read this story together at your child’s pace. The pictures and the character’s choices can be a starting point for noticing feelings and asking questions, rather than searching for a correct response. A child may want to talk, point to an illustration or simply listen. Leave room for their own interpretation, and return to a favourite moment if they wish. The suggested age range and themes help you choose a book; they do not set a test for how a child should understand or respond to the story.

Mochi

Mochi is a gentle, curious and thoughtful baby koala. He cares about others and sometimes feels shy or anxious. Across his stories, he is learning to be brave, accept mistakes and speak kindly to himself. He does not have to be calm or perfect all the time.
