JoJo’s Yo-Yo

Written by Susan HartleyIllustrated by Fred Volke

Ty could run so fast. He won lots of races. JoJo wanted to run fast, too. But she would not try. So she did not run fast.

JoJo was very shy. All the other kids were good at something. JoJo did not try to get good at anything. She was just too shy.

JoJo wanted to fly a kite too. But JoJo would not try to make a kite. She would not try to fly a kite up in the sky. She was too shy.

Flo made very good kites. She would fly her kites up in the sky. Her kite flying was the best.

JoJo did yo-yo tricks. She made the yo-yo go up. She made it go down. And she made it flip.

JoJo was so sad. She sat down to cry. Then JoJo’s mom gave her a yo-yo.

JoJo picked up the yo-yo. She was not too shy to give it a try.

JoJo let Ty and Flo try to do a yo-yo trick. But Ty and Flo were not good with a yo-yo.

“We are not good at this,” they said.

“JoJo, you are the best with a yo-yo. Now we all are good at something.”

Ty and Flo came by to see JoJo.“Hello, JoJo,” they said.

“Hi,” said JoJo. “Do you want to see me do a yo-yo trick?”
