Hedgehog's Home for Summer
By Ulyeva, Elena
It's finally summer, and curious Hedgehog is so happy to see a new season arrive! On a walk through the woods, he discovers that summer has brought something special for all of the inhabitants of the forest: the flowers have received the gift of the warm sun, which has helped them to open up; the bees and butterflies are delighted to have received flowers that produce the sweet nectar that the bugs eat; and there's fresh green grass for the rabbits and warm water in the pond for the frogs. But Hedgehog wonders what his gift is! It seems as though everyone has received something special except him. Sadly, he sits down on a tree stump - and then suddenly, a shiny red apple falls at his feet. Hedgehog knows that the delicious apple is his gift from summer - and he hasn't been forgotten after all.

Grandma's Tipi
By Nelson, S. D.
Now that Clara is almost in third grade, she's finally old enough to spend her first summer away from home visiting her grandma, Unci, and her cousin at their home in Standing Rock Reservation. To welcome her visit, Uncle Louie brings an extra-special surprise in his pickup truck: the tipi that's been passed down through their family for generations. The girls learn how to stack the poles and wrap the canvas covering around them, how to paint spirit pictures on its walls, and how the circle of the tipi tells its own story, reminding us to how to live in the great Circle of Life. Over long days spent playing outside, doing beadwork together, telling stories, singing songs, and sleeping under the stars, the tipi brings the family closer together. As summer draws to an end, goodbye comes all too soon, but Clara will always cling to the memories of summer days and starry nights.
