Sorry to see that this account of the Buddha's life begins with Once upon a time- this is generally known as a marker for a fictional story, whereas the Buddhe was a real person with a true life history.

Helpful resource. Thanks for this information on Wesak. It is simple (in the best sense of the word!) and user friendly and can be adapted for any age in Primary - really helpful.
