The afternoon light filters through the classroom windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Mrs. Twinkle, a mouse with a voice like a dream, stands by her desk, her hands resting gently on her heavily pregnant belly. She looks at Chrysanthemum, a student often teased for her floral name. There is a soft, knowing smile on Mrs. Twinkle's face as she pats her stomach, her eyes warm with empathy and kindness.
