TITLE: My First Photography Book<\/h2>\n

Amelia walks down the street
\nDreaming of new friends to meet.
\nShe winds and wanders down the block
\nStomping and kicking around little rocks.<\/p>\n

With a big sigh, she wonders why
\nEvery morning is oh so boring!<\/p>\n

[**add butterfly and tree on black and white landscape, Amelia kicking a rock]<\/p>\n

\n

Amelia, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s okay to be bored some days.
\nThere are many things to play in new ways!
\nEven at home where things seem boring,
\nThere are new corners worth exploring!<\/p>\n

[**Amelia exploring a garage in her house, curious looking around the corner and shelves]<\/p>\n

\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that in there? Thrown away with no care.
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shiny and smooth, with buttons and grooves.<\/p>\n

[ Amelia finds a phone in a box with all these other abandoned electronics.]<\/p>\n

\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a magic box! It helps her see in 3D.
\nShe sees bright colors fresh with new eyes,
\nThings once hidden from view no longer disguised.<\/p>\n

Amelia lifts the box high to the sky, and says \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh my!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nThe magic box captures her joy and glee,
\nSweet dreams and memories.<\/p>\n

[colorful transformation and technicolor world]<\/h2>\n

Bright orange butterflies
\nFlutter and flicker, quicker and quicker
\nAgainst the blue skies.<\/p>\n

[**diagram taking photos with fingers, background scene with butterflies gaussian blur background–but in the phone the butterflies and blue skies in focus]<\/p>\n

\n

Is that a six-spotted ladybug behind the rock that she kicked?
\nHow did she miss this little bug-friend hanging out on a stick?<\/p>\n

[**closeup on a ladybug with numbers (1through7) on top of its 7 spots on a stick behind the rock]<\/p>\n

\n

Wow, what a sight! Can she capture the light?
\nClick the button, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be shy,
\nJust wave and say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hi!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

[**diagram taking photos with fingers clicking the button, background scene is the sun shining on the ladybug blur, but ladybug in focus and really bright]<\/p>\n

\n

Where is the sun? Is it behind or in front?
\nLet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s move our feet and go on a hunt!<\/p>\n

Can you help Amelia find things to shoot?
\nIt can be weird and funny or cute.
\nA triangle, a square, flowers, big and small,
\nA red ball, green trees, short and tall.<\/p>\n

[**sun shining casting shadow of amelia and trees, making interesting shapes on the ground; add an eye-spy checklist of shapes and objects in the scene : triangle, square, circle, big, small, green, purple, etc]<\/p>\n

\n

Take photos of people you love,
\nDon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget to give them a hug.<\/p>\n

[grandpa laughing with amelia as she photographs him]<\/h2>\n

Even when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sad and dreary,
\nTake photos that make you smile and cheery.<\/p>\n

[** close up of amelia smiling taking selfie with silly faces, demonstrate clicking reverse camera (selfie function)]<\/h2>\n

Amelia shares the photos of her exciting day.
\nHer friends look and say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wow, no way!
\nWhere did you find all this interesting stuff?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nAmelia explains, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that tough!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

[(friends looking at all her photos from before]<\/h2>\n

Amelia runs home with a skip in her step,
\nTo show her parents the photos she kept.<\/p>\n

[running home]<\/h2>\n

Today, I saw an orange butterfly against the blue sky.
\nI made a ladybug friend. I shot many things again and again.
\nI saw all kinds of shapes, big and small.
\nI made people laugh. I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t scared at all.<\/p>\n

[visual of Amelia thought bubble recounting all the photos and memories of her day in front of her parents]<\/p>\n

\n

But Amelia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s parents are distracted on their own little boxes,
\nClicking and swiping with lots of typing.
\nThey do not notice their daughter recount her day,
\nWhen she learned about beauty and life through play.<\/p>\n

[zoom out to show Parents ignore her using their phones]<\/p>\n

\n

Poking and pulling, Amelia exclaims,
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Guess the name of this magic box game!
\nI can capture the beauty around me,
\nAnd share with others all that I see.
\nI peer closely, walk slowly, crouch down, and look up.
\nI take chances, make friends, and never give up.<\/p>\n

Guess the name of this magic box game!
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really not that hard to explain.
\nWe just need to use our eyes and see,
\nThe beauty of life through photography.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
