\nDandelion Bouquets Excerpt:
\n
\nIt was a bright and sunny morning on Ahway Island. Sunlight glittered on the trees as butterflies fluttered from flower to flower in the front yard of the Kim house. A flock of energetic finches chirped away in the trees, singing a happy tune as they basked in the warm breeze on this beautiful morning.
\n
\nCallie listened to the melody of the birds as she gazed out the front door of her house, pondering what she and her dad were going to do today. She was sitting on the floor, practicing tying her shoes. Being able to tie your own shoes was challenging, and she wanted to show her dad that she could do it all by herself.
