The Perfect Place Excerpt:
The morning sun made the clouds above Ahway Island look pink and gold. Little dewdrops sparkled like diamonds on the grass, and the neighborhood birds had just begun their cheery songs.
Dharma Dragonfly stretched her delicate wings, admiring how well they shimmered in the golden sunlight. The warm breeze felt wonderful as she zipped through the air. Dharma soared past houses and gardens, occasionally doing little loop-de-loops just for fun.
As she flew over a quiet yard, Dharma spotted two of her friends. Bobbi Butterfly flitted gracefully from petal to petal in the small flower bed, while Letitia Ladybug lazed about on one of the flower’s broad, green leaves. Dharma flew over to them and hovered in the air.
