Her mom had made hot chocolate and suggested going to the park, but Haya just wasn't in the mood.

Feeling a mix of sadness and anger, Haya decided to draw how she was feeling to try and make sense of it all.

She drew a big black thundercloud raining down on a tiny stick figure, representing how she felt inside.

Her mom looked at the drawing and hugged Haya, telling her it was okay to feel sad and that she was there for her.

As they sat together drinking hot chocolate, Haya felt a little better knowing her mom understood her feelings.
