Curious Kite Excerpt:
Just as Theresa was about to inspect another tree, something bright hovering in the sky caught her eye. Not too far away, a colorful shape floated and twirled in the breeze. It looked kind of like a butterfly, but it was much too big to be real.
Theresa took a few steps toward the shape and squinted into the sky, holding a hand above her face. It wasn’t a butterfly – it was a kite! A butterfly-shaped kite with wings painted in all the colors of the rainbow. A long ribbon flowed behind it like a tail. It looked beautiful, spinning and gliding in the wind. “Who is flying that?” Theresa wondered to herself. Theresa had never flown a kite before, and she was really curious about it.
