Page 1
On the left side of the image, Pa sits upright on a bed propped against a purple pillow, holding a steaming red mug of hot drink, with a warm, content expression and eyes gently closed as if mid-story. The Narrator is tucked into bed beside him, peeking out from under the purple blanket with wide, attentive eyes, listening. A small bedside lamp glows softly behind them. The right side of the image is plain bright yellow background, leaving space for text.

Grandad sits on the bed with a big red mug. He tells the best stories. I am snug in bed, and I look up and grin. 'Tell me a story, Grandad!'

On the right side of the image, the Narrator is tucked into bed with wide, curious eyes, looking engaged and attentive, while Pa sits on the edge of the bed beside the Narrator, leaning in with a dramatic, expressive gesture as he prepares to tell a bedtime story. The scene is set in a cozy bedroom with a bedside table and lamp, a chair nearby, small framed pictures on the wall, and an open door letting in a sliver of light. The left side of the image is plain yellow background, leaving space for text.

Grandad grins a big grin. 'This story is odd,' he tells me. 'Wisp is a kid. But Wisp is just mist and wind. We can not see Wisp at all!' 'Is that true?' I ask. 'Just wait and see,' he tells me.

On the left side of the image, an ornate red and yellow plaid armchair sits empty against a plain light blue background, its cushion slightly indented as though someone invisible is sitting in it. The chair casts a small shadow beneath it, and the rest of the scene is open empty space — reinforcing the text's idea that the girl made of air is present but unseen.

Wisp can sit just next to us. But we do not see Wisp at all. Just a dip! See the dip? Wisp keeps very, very still. Not a sound!

On the right side of the image, Girl Made of Air stands in the rain, her translucent form barely visible as raindrops fall around and through her, revealing her subtle shape with small, gentle closed crescent-shaped eyes peeking out. She appears calm and still, standing beneath white clouds on a soft blue background, with rain puddles and splashes forming at her feet on the ground. The left side of the image is plain light blue, left open for text.

Drip, drop! In the rain we can just see Wisp. The rain splashes off Wisp. Splash! But all rush past. They miss Wisp.

Girl Made of Air stands on the left-center of the image on a snowy ground, nearly invisible against the bright yellow background, with snowflakes resting on her head and shoulders — making her faint outline just barely visible. She has a calm, quiet expression with closed crescent-shaped eyes. To the far left, two children with umbrellas point toward her with bright, happy expressions, and in the center-left, a child in winter clothes pauses mid-step, holding a snowball, looking toward Girl Made of Air with delighted surprise. Snowflakes drift down across an outdoor snowy scene against a vivid yellow sky.

It is chilly out. Some kids stop and point at Wisp. 'Look at that!' they yell. Wisp keeps very, very still. She is glad. The kids can just see Wisp!

On the right side of the image, the Boy sits at a classroom desk with a shocked, open-mouthed expression, looking scared. Scattered on the desk in front of him are drawings and crayons — one green crayon floats in the air by itself, moving as if held by an invisible hand, drawing on the paper. The Girl Made of Air is faintly visible as a subtle face with closed crescent-shaped eyes hovering in the blue background just to the right of the Boy, blending into the air. The scene is set indoors in a school classroom, with a large blue area behind the desk suggesting a wall or window. The left side of the image is plain white background.

In the morning, Wisp enters a classroom. She sits at a desk and picks up an art tool. It floats up! The lad at the next desk gasps and yells. Splash! The coffee spills!

On the left side of the image, the Boy's arm extends from the left edge, holding a paintbrush dripping with yellow paint. He has just begun painting Girl Made of Air's face — only her closed, content crescent-shaped eyes and a small smile are visible as yellow paint marks against the blue sky background. Girl Made of Air appears serene, with her eyes gently closed as the Boy paints. The scene is set outdoors against a clear blue sky, with the right side left as open sky.

'Don't be upset,' Wisp tells the lad. 'I just wish to do art.' 'Can I paint a grin?' the lad asks. He dips the brush and dabs carefully. He paints a grin on Wisp.

On the bottom-right corner of the image, Girl Made of Air is shown from the shoulders up with yellow-painted closed crescent-shaped eyes and a peaceful, contented smile marked in yellow paint on her face. Her voluminous, swirly white-blue hair flows upward and outward, filled with whimsical painted objects — a heart, a star, a cat, music notes, cherries, and other favorite things — all rendered in a playful, doodle-like style. On the left side, the Boy stands nearby holding a paintbrush with paint dripping from it, looking pleased with his work. The background is a plain light blue sky.

'Paint lots and lots!' Wisp tells the lad. He paints a star, a fat cat, notes and red food up on top. Wisp is happy, and the lad grins too.

Page 9
On the left side of the image, Girl Made of Air walks forward across a white background, her translucent body now painted with bright colors — making her outline visible. She has yellow-painted closed crescent-shaped eyes and a cheerful smile, with her swirly white-blue hair filled with painted hearts, stars, and music notes. A trail of colorful painted footprints — in bright blue and red — stretches behind her, with a red paintbrush lying among them and small yellow sparkle marks suggesting freshly applied paint. The right side of the image is plain white background.

Then Wisp paints stars and red marks on the arms. Paint spills and splatters as she skips! Splat, splat! Look at the footprints! A trail on the ground!

Page 10
On the right side of the image, Girl Made of Air stands on a gentle blue hill, with yellow-painted closed crescent-shaped eyes and a peaceful, contented smile. Her translucent body is filled with colorful painted images of things she loves — hearts, stars, a sun, flowers, a smiley face, and other cheerful doodles — making her visibly radiant with small sparkles emanating around her. Her swirly white-blue hair flows with curling wisps, also filled with painted objects. A looping red swirl floats in the sky above, and small red flowering plants and yellow leafy bushes dot the hillside around her. The left side is open white background. The scene is bright and outdoors with a joyful, celebratory mood.

Wisp stands on a hill. Stars and plants and fun marks fill Wisp up. All can see Wisp! Wisp is happy, happy, happy.

Page 11
On the left side of the image, the Narrator is tucked into a large bed with a red frame and purple blanket, peeking out from under the covers with a thoughtful, contemplative expression — as if pondering the story they just heard. Pa sits on the edge of the bed beside the Narrator, smiling gently as he finishes his tale. The scene is an indoor bedroom setting with a bright yellow background. The right side of the image is plain yellow background.

'Is that true?' Grandad asks me. I think a bit. 'Not true,' I tell Grandad. 'It is a silly story!' Grandad grins. He tucks me in with a kiss.

Page 12
On the right side of the image, the Narrator is lying in bed, tucked under the covers with just their head visible on the pillow, eyes open with a slightly anxious expression. The bedroom door on the far right is creaking open, with bright light spilling in from the hallway — but no one is there. A chair and a bedside lamp sit beside the bed, and small pictures hang on the wall above. The left side of the image is plain yellow background. The scene is set indoors at nighttime, with an eerie, suspenseful mood created by the mysteriously opening door and the empty doorway.

Grandad shuts the door. But then the door opens up a bit. Hush! Is that Wisp? I do not see Wisp at all. I get the chills, and I tuck the covers up to the chin. Don't open that door! Don't open that door!
