Spring's Sparkle Sleepover

by Elise Allen

  “Snowflake Slumber Party Part Two!” Winter cheered. “Let’s do it tonight! You want to?”

  “Bluebells and blossoms, yes!” cried Spring.

  The sisters smiled together, then raised their scepters in the air to summon the rainbow.

  “First the animal-naming ceremony and then my very first sleepover,” said Spring. “An adventure we’ll never forget!”
