Tree Party Excerpt:

It was an early summer morning and Simon Cicada woke up with a great idea! He stretched his little legs and wings as the sun gently shone on him. Simon had realized that it had been far too long since he had spent time with his friends Dharma Dragonfly and Letitia Ladybug. The three friends all lived in the forest on Ahway Island and spent their days flying around the big, beautiful forest.
Recently, the trio hadn’t had the chance to spend time together, so Simon decided to do something special for them. “I know just what to do!” Simon said to himself. “I’ll throw a tree party!”
