🎁 The Best Gift | Children's Story Read Aloud | Dixy's Storytime World

Hi kids, welcome to Dixie's Storytime World. Are you ready to listen? And if you can, read along with me. The Best Gift, written by Hany Dutrois, available at Bookdash. Let's start reading together. Gibran loves building with toy bricks. Dad says, that's very good Gibran, you've got a gift for building things. What if I have another gift? Gibran wonders. I've just one gift, Dad, he asks. You'll only know if you try many things, says Dad. I want to try cricket, says Gibran. He joins the cricket club at school and learns to bat and bowl. He hits the ball hard. Wow, says Coach Uno. What a great batsman you are. You've got a gift, Gibran. It's karate class. Gibran practices his katas with Sensei Shoket. His friend, Sumeya, does them well. Excellent, Sumeya, says Sensei Shoket. Gibran tries again. He makes another mistake. He smiles at Sumeya and high-fives her. Really good, Sumeya. You have a gift. You didn't give up, Gibran. That's a gift too, says Sumeya. How was karate? asks Dad. I made many mistakes, and I didn't give up, Dad. Karate is Sumaya's gift. You'll discover other gifts, says Dad. Gibran wonders what they are. I love music. Am I good at music? Dad, can I play the drums, he asks. Well, let's try, says Dad. They turn some pots and buckets upside down and get two wooden spoons for drumsticks. Gibran imagines a whole band playing with him. He beats the drum to a simple rhythm. Da-da-da, da-da-da-pa, da-da-da-pa. Little Lay rocks back and forth on the chair as Gibran plays the drums. Wicky, wicky, wicky, wicky, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum. Da-da-da-da-da-da, ding, da-da-da-da-da-da-dum. That sounds amazing, says Dad. I love that beat. You've got a gift, Gibran. Hi-ya! Gibran laughs. He loves discovering new talent when he tries something new. This is fun, Dad. I love my gifts. Yes! Just then, Little Late rocks the chair over and falls to the floor. Gibran jumps to help his baby brother. Are you okay, Little Late? he asks. He rubs Little Late's head. He kisses Little Late's tears. Can I kiss it better, Little Late? he asks. Can I hug it better, Little Late? Dad smiles. Aha, says Dad. Look how kind and loving you are. That's the best gift of all. That's the one to practice every day. Gibran laughs. Little Late laughs too. What's your gift, Little Late? he asks. Thank you for reading along with me.
