Kavi's Pet and Plant Day
Kavi waters a droopy little plant 🌱 and it perks right up! Then Kavi fills a bowl for a hungry puppy 🐶. "Living things can't care for themselves," says Kavi gently. "A plant needs water and light. A pet needs food, water and love. When we notice what they need and give it, they stay alive and happy!"
