About the story
Maya likes to move carefully. Ria wakes up ready to race. On one busy morning, those different rhythms begin to bump into each other and a hurried moment ends with spilled juice and hurt feelings. The Lumina League arrive to help the sisters notice what is really happening: one light is jumping ahead while the other is holding back. By listening, taking turns and trying again together, Maya and Ria discover that being different is not the problem. The important part is learning how to share the space between fast and slow.
