Francis Discovers Possible

Francis Discovers Possible is a heartwarming tale about a young girl's journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Francis delights in learning new words, but one day, during a lesson focusing on words that begin with the letter "F," a classmate cruelly says, "Fat, like Francis." Until then, Francis had always associated the word "fat" with warmth, as comforting as snuggling with her Mama or giving her puppy belly rubs. Suddenly, "fat" turns cold, leaving Francis feeling very small.

After school, Francis's Baba takes her to the park. Instead of playing, she sits quietly on a bench, lost in thought. It's then that Baba introduces her to the word "possible." Intrigued, Francis sets out to understand its meaning as they explore the park together. Is "possible" like airplanes gracefully hovering in the sky? Or does it resemble the patience required for planting, where some things take a long time to grow?

The word "possible" fills Francis with a sense of warmth and empowerment, reminiscent of how she felt about "fat" before it was tainted by someone else's hurtful words. This touching story is an ode to self-acceptance, inviting child readers to discover what "possible" might mean in their own lives.
