On the left side of the image, The Rainbow Queen is seated, smiling gently as she reads a letter she holds in her hands. She wears a white sleeveless floor-length dress with bold rainbow stripes along the outer edges, and a golden crown adorned with upright rainbow-colored feather-like points on her fluffy white-to-pale-pink hair. Behind her, through a large ornate archway, Kate — a small chibi girl with coral-red hair in side-swept bangs and a short ponytail, wearing a pink A-line dress with a white peter pan collar and red mary jane shoes — plays joyfully on a green lawn, clapping her hands and grinning alongside two other small fairy children. The scene is set in the late afternoon with warm golden-orange light bathing the palace courtyard, and colorful fan-shaped plants and a small red bird frame the archway. The right ~40% of the image is plain warm orange background, clear for text.

A note! The Wind Princess will be in at sunrise. Kate grins and hums a glad tune.

On the right side of the image, Kate — with her coral-red hair and pink A-line dress — is among a group of fairies energetically cleaning and tidying. The fairies are bustling about — some are flying, some are running across a warm golden floor, all with cheerful, excited expressions. Kate and the other fairies carry brooms and cleaning supplies as they rush around. In the background on the right, a colorful tower with vibrant oversized flowers and lush foliage rises into a bright, cloud-dotted sky. The left side of the image is plain teal-green sky, left clear for text.

All must help at home. They dust and mop and scrub. 'Use a mop and a rag!' yells Kate.

Page 3
On the left side of the image, two sequential panels show Kate attempting to grab The Rainbow Broom. In the top panel, Kate reaches forward with a determined expression, trying to grasp The Rainbow Broom — a teardrop-shaped feather duster with flowing rainbow-colored bristles in orange, yellow, green, and blue stripes, a turquoise band collar, and a warm orange wooden handle — which appears to be pulling away from her with an angry, growling face in the center-upper area of its bristles. In the bottom panel, Kate leans in closer with a frustrated expression while The Rainbow Broom continues to resist, looking cranky and defiant with its large round white eyes narrowed. The scene is set indoors against a plain, warm cream background. The right ~40% of the image is empty background suitable for text overlay.

Kate wants Zip to help. But Zip is rude, and he will not let Kate get him.

Page 4
On the right side of the image, The Rainbow Broom is flying upward through what appears to be an indoor hallway lined with shelves, its rainbow-colored bristles trailing below in flowing orange, yellow, green, and blue stripes. Kate is on the right, mouth wide open in a surprised and alarmed expression, gripping onto the bristle end of The Rainbow Broom as she is lifted off her feet, her red mary jane shoes dangling in the air. The background shows a display wall of colorful decorative items — shields, plates, fans, and ornaments — with glass baubles and wooden barrels on a countertop below. The left side of the image is a plain warm orange-tan background.

Zip zips up fast, and Kate hangs on! 'Stop, Zip, stop!' she yells. But rude Zip will not stop.

Page 5
On the left side of the image, Kate leaps through the air with a determined expression, arms outstretched, diving onto The Rainbow Broom as it tries to fly away. She grabs the broom mid-flight, pulling it downward toward a grassy hilltop. The Rainbow Broom has its warm orange wooden handle at top and its teardrop-shaped body of flowing rainbow-colored bristles below, with a startled expression on its face in the center-upper area of the bristles. Below them on the hill, several small onlookers watch with surprised expressions. The right ~40% of the image is plain light blue sky background.

Kate jumps on Zip and grips him. 'Do not be a brute, Zip!' she yells. She tugs him to the hill. Bump!

Page 6
On the right side of the image, Kate is shown from a low angle, leaning forward with a surprised and concerned expression, mouth open in shock, as she examines The Rainbow Broom up close. The Rainbow Broom looms large beside and above her, its rainbow-colored bristles wild and tangled, covered in clumps of gray dirt and cobwebs, with a small spider dangling from its warm orange wooden handle. The broom's normally vibrant orange, yellow, green, and blue bristle stripes are dulled and matted with grime. The scene is set outdoors against a bright blue sky with soft clouds, and the left side of the image is plain sky, clear for text overlay.

Kate gasps. Zip is a mess of dust and webs! 'Excuse me, Zip,' says Kate. 'This is my mess to fix.'

Page 7
On the left side of the image, Kate kneels inside a large yellow bathtub overflowing with pink soap bubbles, smiling cheerfully as she scrubs The Rainbow Broom with both hands. The Rainbow Broom's warm orange wooden handle sticks up out of the sudsy water at an angle, its rainbow-colored bristles submerged in the soapy foam. Bubbles float up into the air around them, and soapy foam spills over the tub's edges onto the floor. Beside the tub on the right is a small blue stool with a flower on it, and a green jar with a ribbon sits on the floor to the left. The scene is set indoors against a plain warm cream background, with all action grouped on the left third of the image.

Kate sets Zip in the tub. 'I will use lots of suds,' she says. She scrubs and scrubs. Zip is not mad now.

Page 8
On the right side of the image, Kate sits on a small green-topped stool with red legs, smiling happily as she combs and smooths the bristles of The Rainbow Broom with a large orange comb held in both hands. The Rainbow Broom stands just to her left, its long, flowing bristles falling in wavy rainbow stripes of orange, yellow, green, and blue, with a friendly, happy face in the upper area of the bristles, a teal band at its collar, and a straight warm orange wooden handle rising upright above. Kate has bright red-pink hair in a side ponytail, dark round eyes, a pink dress with a white collar, and red shoes. The indoor scene is set in a cozy craft room with various combs, brushes, mirrors, and decorative framed items hanging on the wall behind them, a tall red wooden mirror stand standing behind Kate, and a small red table nearby holding a blue brush and other grooming items. The left side of the image is open, plain cream background space.

Kate makes Zip shine. She hums a tune as she rubs. Zip grins a big cute grin.

Page 9
On the left side of the image, Kate stands on a large, curving rainbow, smiling with a determined expression as she sweeps away clouds of gray dust and dark star-shaped debris from the rainbow's colorful stripes. She is holding The Rainbow Broom, whose teardrop-shaped body of clean, vibrant rainbow-colored bristles fans out at the sweeping end, and who has a cheerful, happy face in the center-upper area of its bristles with large round white eyes and a small open mouth. Together they are actively brushing the grime off the bands of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The scene is set outdoors against a bright green and warm golden sky with swirling pink and orange clouds in the upper-left corner. The right side of the image is plain warm golden background.

Kate and Zip rise up to the stripes. They dust and dust, and Zip flicks plumes of dust in the wind.

Page 10
On the right side of the image, Kate stands on a grassy hilltop with arms spread wide, looking up at the sky with an excited expression, while The Rainbow Broom hovers nearby with a cheerful face in its clean rainbow-colored bristles. The Wind Princess descends dramatically from the upper right, emerging from swirling clouds with arms outstretched and a joyful expression. She has long flowing sky-blue hair swept to the left, a golden three-pointed crown, and a flowing white gown with soft light-blue shading and light-blue ankle-strap shoes. A magical cloud castle is visible behind her in the sky. The scene is set outdoors on a bright day with a soft teal-green sky, colorful fan-shaped flora, and a whimsical tower in the background. The left ~40% of the image is plain teal-green background. Several small fairy-like figures cheer among the colorful plants on the right side.

A gust of wind hums like a flute. The Wind Princess glides in! 'It is the Wind Princess!' Kate yells.

Page 11
On the left side of the image, The Rainbow Queen stands proudly at the center atop her tower, smiling warmly with her arms slightly outstretched. She wears her white sleeveless floor-length dress with bold rainbow stripes along the outer edges, its wide flowing skirt fanning out dramatically behind her, and her golden crown adorned with rainbow-colored feather-like points sits atop her fluffy white-to-pale-pink hair. A grand rainbow arches overhead. Kate is in the lower-left, looking up at The Rainbow Queen with an open-mouthed, joyful expression of pride, standing beside a brown horse. The Wind Princess stands just behind Kate, her long sky-blue hair flowing and golden three-pointed crown glinting, also gazing toward the tower with a happy expression. Small fairies flutter around the base of the tower near The Rainbow Queen, celebrating. The right ~40% of the image is plain soft green watercolor background.

All look up. The grand stripes shine! They hum glad tunes, and Kate grins wide.

Page 12
On the right side of the image, The Wind Princess stands tall with her arms raised, her long sky-blue hair flowing and golden three-pointed crown gleaming, gazing up admiringly at a large sparkly rainbow arching across the sky above her. She has a proud, joyful expression. Kate is visible in the lower right, holding The Rainbow Broom — now clean with vibrant rainbow-colored bristles and a happy face — and wiping it down carefully, looking happy and proud. Several fairies surround them, celebrating with raised arms beneath the glittering rainbow. The scene is set outdoors against a soft, cloudy sky with swirling winds and sparkles.

'What a fine job!' says the Wind Princess. Kate wipes Zip with a soft cloth. 'I will not be rude, Zip,' she says. Zip winks at Kate.
