WELCOME TO PACE WORLD
Every little voice
deserves to be heard.
Join Hoku and Malia for a whole story about hunger, care, and finding the words to ask for help.

YOUR ADVENTURE
One day. Many ways to ask.
A LITTLE ADVENTURE IN ASKING FOR HELP
A little help, a brighter day.
Meet Malia. Explore her story. Go at your own pace.
We can take this one step at a time.
You can take a break or ask for help at any time.
YOUR STORY JOURNEY
Look at the steps you explored.
A LITTLE WORLD TO EXPLORE
Hoku’s Helping Path.
Walk with Malia. Meet the people who can help. There’s no hurry.
Let’s find a caring grown-up. Tap the courtyard or choose a place to walk to.
LITTLE WORDS TO TRY TOGETHER
Practice, at your own pace.
Use Malia’s example. You don’t need to share your own story.
01 · FIND THE WORDS
A sentence can be a start.
Choose something Malia could say. Try reading it together.
“I’m hungry. Can you help me find something to eat?”
02 · FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP
Who could Malia ask?
Explore each option. More than one person may be able to help.
03 · TAKE A LITTLE PAUSE
A moment with Hoku.
A comfortable breath can make a pause feel gentler. Food and a caring adult are still what Malia needs for her hunger.
04 · KEEP A REMINDER
Words to take with you.
A small printable card with Hoku’s reminders and a sentence for asking for help. No name or personal information needed.
A MOMENT TO CONNECT

One shared-device demonstration. No student accounts or emotional scoring.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A caring adult sets the scene.
- Read together, and explain that this is Malia’s fictional story.
- Let the child skip or stop without explaining why.
- Know who can help with food at your school today.
Suggested opener: “We’re going to practice ways a character can ask for help. You don’t have to share anything about yourself.”
AFTER THE STORY
Make room for a conversation.
“What could a caring grown-up say to Malia?”
“Would going with a friend make asking easier?”
“Who could a child ask at our school?”
