Page 1
On the right side of the image, Kim's mother sits at a large wooden loom inside a cosy indoor room, smiling contentedly as she works the threads with her hands. The loom holds a partially woven fabric with colourful patterns, and warm afternoon light fills the space. The left side of the image is plain light background, leaving room for text.

Mum sits at her big loom and sings. Click, clack! Click, clack! The loom clicks and clacks as Mum sings her song.

Page 2
On the left side of the image, Kim's mother sits cross-legged on the floor, singing softly — musical notes float in the air around her — while sewing or doing needlework with thread and fabric. Below her, Kim lies on her stomach on a red and brown patterned rug with her head resting on her arms, eyes closed, peacefully drifting off to sleep. She has pulled a thin red blanket up to cover herself. The scene is a warm, softly lit indoor setting with a calm, cosy afternoon atmosphere. The right ~40% of the image is plain light background.

'Mum, can I help?' asks Kim. 'Rest, Kim,' sings Mum. And Kim flops back on the rug, and soon she sleeps.

Page 3
On the right side of the image, Kim lies on the rug pulling a blanket up toward her chin, frowning with an annoyed, sleepy expression as she's been woken by a tapping noise. Sound-effect text ("TAP TAP TAP") floats above her head, suggesting the persistent tapping. The scene is a close-up indoor afternoon view with warm light, and the patterned blanket is bunched around her.

Tap, tap, tap! Kim sits up with a shock. 'Stop that!' she yelps. But the taps do not stop.

Page 4
On the left side of the image, Kim walks barefoot up a small step toward an open doorway of a building with large green wooden doors, shown at a three-quarter angle so her face is visible — she has a curious, determined expression as she heads out into the street to follow a sound. Colourful "POK POK POK" sound-effect text floats in the air near the doorway. The scene is set outdoors on a neighbourhood sidewalk, with a wicker chair sitting to the right of the entrance. The right ~40% of the image is plain light background.

Tap, tap, tap! Kim gets up. She is quick. She hops up the step to check on that tap. The tap is out in the street!

Page 5
On the right side of the image, Kim stands bent forward slightly, peering curiously through a weathered open doorway into a dimly lit interior. She has a determined, inquisitive expression as she pushes the door open. Just inside the doorway on the right, a traditional wooden loom is visible with threads and wooden slats. The scene is set outdoors on what appears to be a porch or entryway of an older building, with warm daylight illuminating the left side as plain background. Colourful "POK POK POK..." sound-effect text floats above, suggesting tapping sounds coming from the loom.

Kim peeks into a dim room. A big loom taps and rocks. Tap, tap, tap! 'Is it the loom?' asks Kim.

Page 6
On the left side of the image, Kim sits at a large wooden loom inside a cosy craft room, with her hands on the loom's frame and a look of wide-eyed surprise on her face. The loom is actively weaving — a brilliant rug is forming on it, with threads twisting and dancing on their own. Magical swirling clouds of mist or energy billow out from the loom toward the right, suggesting the loom has come alive. Behind Kim on the wall, colourful finished rugs and tapestries with geometric patterns hang on display. The right side of the image is open plain background filled with the magical mist.

Kim sits and grips the loom. Quick as a wink, it clicks and clacks! Red and blue yarn zips and spins. 'I did not do that!' yelps Kim.

Page 7
On the right side of the image, Kim sits atop a large wooden loom that is flying through a bright, cloudy daytime sky, soaring above rooftops and buildings below. She grips the loom's frame with both hands, her expression shifting from surprise to wonder as the magical loom carries her upward. Wisps of glowing light and magical energy trail behind the loom. A tiny gecko clings to the loom beside her, along for the ride. The left side of the image is plain sky background, leaving space for text.

Up, up, up! The loom lifts with Kim on top. It tilts and rocks. A wee thing clings on next to her. 'Hang on!' yelps Kim.

Page 8
On the left side of the image, Kim sits atop a large magic loom that is flying through a pale, cloudy sky. She leans forward with a wide grin, gripping the wooden beam of the loom as it soars through the air. The loom trails a flowing, decorative fabric behind it — patterned with musical notes — that billows and curls downward like a banner. A massive pink bird glides beside Kim just above the loom. A tiny gecko clings to the loom near Kim. Musical notes float and swirl in the air around the loom, suggesting the ribbon of song carrying them aloft. The right side of the image is plain pale blue-grey sky, clear for text.

A big pink thing swoops up next to Kim. Notes drift in the wind. It is Mum's song! Kim grins a big grin. She is in luck!

Page 9
On the right side of the image, Kim is plummeting downward beneath the ocean surface atop the magic loom, gripping the wooden frame with a determined expression. A blanket of bubbles and foam surrounds her and the loom as they plunge into the dark, deep water. A tiny gecko clings to the loom beside her. The left side is open dark sea water, providing clear space for text overlay.

The loom tips and drops. Splash! It sinks far into the deep. Kim is wet, but she hangs on. The wee thing is stuck flat on the wood.

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Kim bursts through the ocean waves, arms spread wide, riding the foamy surf with a joyful, excited smile. Colourful fish — pink, green, and yellow — swim circles around her in the shallow water as waves crash around them. The scene is set outdoors at a beach on a bright day, with deep blue ocean water stretching across the right side of the image as plain background.

Up pops Kim on the foam! Pink and green fish flock round her and flip. Kim kicks up the wet foam. Stop? Not Kim!

Page 11
On the right side of the image, Kim sits atop the magic loom as it carries her through a swirling explosion of colours and patterns. She raises her arms and laughs joyfully, her face beaming with delight. Flowers and brilliant shapes blossom around her — flowing patterns, abstract shapes in pinks, blues, and greens — like living art surrounding the loom. A tiny gecko clings to the loom near her. The left side of the image is plain background, leaving space for text.

The loom zooms up. Blooms and forms pop and spin round Kim. Pink and blue flecks flash and glint. 'This is grand!' she shouts.

Page 12
In the lower-left portion of the image, Kim's mother sits on a chair with a gentle, peaceful smile, singing softly. Kim is lying on the red and brown patterened rug from before, just waking up with a drowsy, content expression, her plain red blanket twisted around her legs, one hand near her face as she looks up at her mother. Faint wisps of colour drift through the air around them, suggesting the fading remnants of a dream. The top half of the image is plain warm-toned background. The scene is set indoors in a cosy room with soft, warm afternoon light.

Blink! Kim is back on the rug. Mum sits and sings her soft song. 'Mum! That song took me far, far from here!' Mum grins and sings on.
