Slide 1: Title Page — A snowy friendship begins Yeti’s Big, Snowy Surprise A wide establishing shot of glittering mountain peaks under a pale winter sky. In the mid-ground, a cozy, hidden snowy valley with pine trees and gentle slopes. The Yeti is partially visible in a playful peek from behind a snowbank—clearly friendly, not scary. Soft sparkles in the air hint at magic-like snow shimmer. Title text large and centered in the sky area, with a small subtitle: “A Rhyming Story in 32 Pages.” Slide 2: Hidden high in icy mountains Page 1 High in the mountains, icy and white, Lived a fluffy Yeti, hidden from sight. Close-up scene of Yeti’s snug little “home” area: a sheltered nook between rocks and pines, snow drifting gently. He watches the world quietly from a safe distance, eyes kind and curious. Slide 3: Big feet, big giggles Page 2 With giant feet and snowy hair, He stomped and giggled everywhere. Dynamic, fun angle: Yeti stomping through powdery snow, leaving huge footprints. Snow puffs up around his feet like clouds. He’s laughing with a wide grin. Slide 4: Joyful hill-sliding fun Page 3 He slid down hills—zoom, zoom, wheee! As happy as a Yeti could be. Yeti belly-sliding down a gentle slope, arms out like airplane wings. Motion lines in snow spray. Background shows layered mountains and pine silhouettes. Slide 5: Snowballs sparkle in the sky Page 4 He tossed snowballs way up high, They sparkled and danced in the sky. Yeti throws a snowball straight upward; it bursts into glittery flakes that twirl like tiny stars. Warm sunlight catches the sparkles. Slide 6: Friends with goats, rocks, and trees Page 5 He played with goats and rocks and trees, And hummed silly songs in the chilly breeze. A playful tableau: a couple of mountain goats hop nearby; Yeti stacks smooth stones like a silly sculpture; pine branches sway. The Yeti hums, cheeks slightly rosy. Slide 7: Rumors drift through the mountains Page 6 But whispers echoed far and wide, “A scary Yeti lives inside!” Show distant village silhouettes far below (tiny warm lights), with faint speech-bubble-like whisper swirls traveling on wind over the valley. Yeti is in the foreground, hearing it, posture drooping. Slide 8: Confusion and a hopeful question Page 7 Yeti frowned and scratched his chin, “I’m friendly! Why won’t they come in?” Yeti sits on a rock scratching his chin, eyebrows knit but gentle. A small path leads toward the valley, empty. The mood is thoughtful, not scary. Slide 9: Wishing for one true friend
