Hello Ben
Hello Everyone
I’m an Olympic athlete and a long distance runner. When I was your age I was always on the go. Loved sports especially football and running. Do you like sports?
In this double page picture, Mo is in space! Mo is wearing a spacesuit, large boots and a space helmet. The sky behind him is black with lots of twinkly silver stars. Mo is looking back at his friends who are trying to keep up with him. There’s the girl with the red curly hair and the girl with dark brown hair which is tied up in two little buns on the top of her head.
Well we’ve come to the end of the book oh and good timing because here comes Mo!
Hey Mo!
Hi Ben! I hope you enjoyed my story. Did it make you want to get up and go for a run?
On your marks, get set, go!
