It is a quiet morning. Outside, the sky is cloudy. The house feels calm.
Tiny Ruby paints the hallway wall. She paints a big yellow sun. Her grin is huge.
Nina walks in and gasps. What are you doing, Ruby? Ruby keeps painting, smiling.
They try to wipe the paint. It cannot come off. The sun smiles at them.
Nina thinks fast. She makes a plan. They tape paper everywhere.
They build a painting corner. Ruby tapes low corners. Nina tapes high parts carefully.
A huge shadow moves along the hall. Dad is coming, very tall. Nina feels worried. Ruby smiles.
Dad stops and looks at the wall. He looks at tiny Ruby. He smiles and paints a bird.
The bird flies near the sun. Nina laughs and paints clouds. Dad and Ruby paint tiny stars.
They make a family wall together. They clean brushes and laugh. Ruby signs it with a tiny handprint.
Dad lifts Ruby to his shoulder. She stands like a small bird. The hallway feels sunny and happy.
