Nilo has a plan

An idea bounces into Nilo’s first school day—and his toes are ready to go! He wants to make a hopping path in the courtyard, using picture cards to show which move comes next. But before Nilo can finish explaining his game, the cards scatter, then start disappearing. With his hopping picture missing and Sid the snake pointing him toward the veranda, Nilo has a mystery to follow.

Lina, Nilo’s butterfly friend, helps him notice a glittery clue. As the cards turn up somewhere unexpected, Nilo must find a way to show what he wants—even when his words aren’t ready. Can his pictures help him reclaim his game and make room for everyone’s ideas?

A playful preschool adventure about invention, communication, and purposeful movement, this story invites young listeners to hop, stomp, stretch, and imagine alongside Nilo.
