🌞 The Owl is leading all the animals in the forest to prepare for the summer solstice - the longest day of the year! Finally, the day is here and Owl, for sure, would not be able to sleep through that day!

🌝 All the little animals, like the squirrel, raccoon, bear, sparrow, rabbit, woodpecker, deer, and more, set off into the world with their special wishes for the summer season. They celebrate the gifts of light and life. They spend the day with festivities and they enjoy dance, splashes, and a sumptuous feast.

🌞 This story leaves many questions for the readers -

-- what would you wish for the summer?

-- would you wish for something like the animals had wished for?

-- would you enjoy being adventurous outside or in the coziness of the indoors?

📚 A beautiful read for the whole season of summer!

📚 Poetic text and gorgeous illustrations!

📚 Perfect for kids ages 4+
