📖 Sample Text

"It was Valentine's Day and Remy wanted to make her Mom the perfect, paper heart.

First she made her a yellow heart. "That's not the heart," said Remy. That heart is too plain.

Next she made her a purple heart. "That's not the heart," said Remy. That heart is too swirly.

Then she made her a blue heart. "That's not the heart," said Remy. That heart is too tiny."
