Summer 2020 was shaping up to be the worst summer of Emma's life.
Stuck inside, Emma mopes around the house until Grandmother suggests she go explore the nearby pond.
There, in the cool summer shade, Emma meets a new friend who turns her boring summer upside down!
Author Sharon Stamas was looking out her own window during the summer of Covid-19 when she caught sight of a surprising friendship--down by her neighborhood pond was a little girl . . . and a big blue heron! All summer long, Sharon watched in warm amazement as the duo trotted after each other, keeping one another company, the sweetest of companions. Inspired by this real-life friendship, Stamas partnered with illustrator Wickie Rowland to bring this charming and dynamic duo to life for young readers and animal lovers.
