Hi! I’m Alofa, and I have the best two stars in the whole wide world. Not the sparkly kind you see at night, but the kind that shine extra bright – my Mom, Fiafia, and my dad, Fetu!

My Mom is like a sunflower. She’s always growing something beautiful. She loves digging in the dirt and making flowers bloom. Sometimes, she smells like sunshine and earth. When I help her water them, she says I have a 'green thumb' too! I don’t know what that is, but it makes me feel special!

My Dad is like a puzzle master. He can fix anything! If my toy car loses a wheel, he puts it right back on. If a wobbly shelf threatens to fall, Dad swoops in with his tools and makes it strong again. Sometimes he makes funny faces when he’s concentrating, but I know he’s always thinking of how to make things better.

When Mom and Dad walk together, they hold hands like two pieces of a picture that fit perfectly. They like to take me to the park. Mom points out all the different birds, and Dad helps me climb the big, twisty tree. They laugh together, and I love the sound. It makes my tummy feel warm and fuzzy.
