Smiling Sun and Reaching Hands, Martin Luther King Jr. Day

At the top of the page, a big cheerful sun beams with a wide open smile, round cheeks and sparkling eyes, ringed by long rounded rays. Below it, five hands reach up toward the sun, three larger and two smaller child-sized ones, with arms rising from the bottom edge. Small hearts and simple five-petal flowers float in the open spaces around everything. Thick, clean outlines and roomy shapes make it comfortable for younger kids, and it's a good starting point for a classroom conversation about kindness, togetherness and hope on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Color the hands in many different skin tones to show people of all backgrounds reaching up together, then use warm yellow and orange on the sun and bright pinks and purples on the hearts and flowers.
