A little preview
The wind that morning had a laugh in it. Alex carried a bright kite on a stick, its tail like a friendly snake. At the park, neighbors Mia and Jay waved hello and peered at the sky. Everyone wanted to be the one who held the string. Alex liked the idea of sharing, but when the kite tugged and spun, the friends began to argue about who should fly it first.
