What if feelings had weight?
Eden is a bright and creative child who loves drawing colorful rainbows, laughing with friends, and playing games at school. Life feels light and joyful-until one week, when everything begins to change.
A small comment here. A laugh there. A missing pencil box.
At first, it doesn't seem like much.
But to Eden, it feels like something heavier is building.
She begins to imagine tiny pebbles appearing in her backpack-each one representing a hurtful moment. With every passing day, the pebbles grow in number and weight. What once felt like a simple school day now feels overwhelming.
By the end of the week, Eden can barely carry her backpack-or her feelings.
Just when it all becomes too much, a quiet moment of kindness changes everything. With the support of her friend Onyx, her loving family, and understanding teachers, Eden slowly begins to open up.
And something amazing happens.
The pebbles don't disappear instantly-but they begin to feel lighter.
Because she is no longer carrying them alone.
