Lwando has a little sister named Oyiso.
Sometimes she is very cute.
But sometimes she turns into
a monster.

That’s okay, because Lwando is a monster tamer.

On Monday, the monster looked angry.

But Lwando knew she was just hungry.

On Tuesday, the monster looked very angry.

But Lwando knew she was just tired.

On Wednesday,
the monster looked
even angrier. But Lwando knew she was just
sad.

On Thursday,
the monster looked
furious.

But Lwando knew she just needed some quiet.

But on Friday,
nothing worked.

Then there were two monsters.

The monsters got bigger.

And bigger.

Luckily, Dad is the best monster tamer of all.
He knows you can’t tame monsters by being
bigger or angrier.

You can only tame monsters by
helping them feel
safe.
