Children's story: Meet Leo
In a small town surrounded by rolling hills in a faraway land, there lived a little boy named Leo. He was five years old and loved two things more than anything else: eating and playing. Leo was full of energy, with rosy cheeks that always looked happy. Every morning, he would jump out of bed, his little feet tapping on the floor, ready for a new day full of fun.
One sunny Saturday, Leo’s mum, Mrs Green, made his favourite breakfast—pancakes. The pancakes were stacked in a tall tower, covered with sweet syrup and fresh berries. Leo’s eyes grew wide with excitement as he climbed onto his chair and grabbed a fork. “These are the best pancakes ever!” he said with a big smile, taking a bite.
After breakfast, Leo ran outside to play. His back garden was like a playground full of fun—a wooden swing set, a sandpit, and a climbing frame that seemed really tall. But today, Leo saw something extra special—a big, colourful kite that his dad had brought out.
With his dad’s help, Leo sent the kite up into the sky. It flew high, dancing in the wind like a rainbow on a string. Leo laughed and ran across the grass, chasing the kite with joy. The kite seemed to be playing with him, swooping and diving as if it were having fun too.
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, Leo started to feel hungry. Mrs Green called from the kitchen, “Leo, lunch is ready!” He stopped playing, and the kite slowly came down as he ran back to the house.
Lunch was all of Leo’s favourite foods: grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken noodle soup. The sandwiches were gooey and cheesy, cut into fun shapes like stars, hearts, and even dinosaurs. Each bite made Leo giggle with happiness.
“Mum, you’re the best cook ever!” he said with his mouth full of cheese.
After lunch, Leo’s best friend, Ella, came over to play. Ella was a little older than Leo, but she loved playing with him. They decided to have a picnic in the back garden. They spread out a blanket and unpacked a basket of snacks that Mrs Green had packed for them.
The afternoon was filled with laughter and games. They played hide and seek, with Leo hiding behind a bush and Ella looking everywhere until she found him because he couldn’t stop laughing. They made up stories about magical lands where giant lamingtons and other cakes grew on trees and where they were brave adventurers searching for the Golden Vegemite.
As the sky turned orange and pink, showing that the day was almost over, Leo started to feel tired. He lay down on the blanket, happy but sleepy, holding a piece of watermelon in his hand.
Ella’s mum came to pick her up, and Leo waved goodbye to his friend. He felt a little sad that the day was ending. But then Mrs Green brought out a surprise—a homemade pavlova, still warm and crisp. Leo’s eyes lit up, and he happily ate the dessert, enjoying every bite.
As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, Leo’s mum tucked him into bed. He yawned and stretched, his belly full and his heart happy. “Today was the best day ever,” he whispered.
Mrs Green smiled and kissed him goodnight. “I’m glad you had fun, Leo. Sweet dreams.”
With that, Leo fell asleep, dreaming of flying kites, magical picnics, and endless days of fun. For Leo, every day was filled with simple joys, where eating and playing made his world full of wonder.

Leo is living the good life! I could see everything that was being described, and true to form Leo’s day was a constant medley of activities and food. The only time I felt the pace slow down was seeing a word unfamiliar to me… “pavlova”! If only it could be described, so as I could see it with my eyes closed. Overall a delightful children’s story
