The Big Wide World
The slowest mover at the pond, and hills he's stared at every single evening. What does a turtle see if he stops rushing and starts looking?
A patience story dressed as a travel story. Ends with Tibo home by the pond, the sunset still in his eyes, tucked into his shell and asleep.

A Secret in the Night
A night too big to sleep in. One small sound in the garden. Who's out there with their light gone dim?
The Trapped Firefly
One firefly who flew too high. One glass jar with the lid rolled shut. Who's strong enough to roll her free?
Champion
Jumping Day tomorrow, and Hop is the smallest frog at the pond. If he can't win the gold leaf, what's left to win?
