Under the moonlit garden lights, Juniper shook her leafy puffs and shouted, “Zoom to the left!” The crickets chirped zip-zip, and her branches swooshed over the soft grass. She had just invented Share-the-Zoom: every time a leaf-bunch bounced, someone had to send a happy whoop to the next branch. The low branch whooped to the high branch. The high branch whooped to the round branch. Soon Juniper’s whole crown jiggled like a green parade.
Then a tiny sparkle above her answered, “Ping!” Juniper froze, then wiggled twice as fast. The garden stars were playing too! Each ping dropped a heart-shaped glimmer into the warm air, and Juniper sent her biggest laugh up through every twig. The crickets, the stars, and the leaves made one zooming song together. If you peek at Juniper’s crown, can you find the hearts and sparkles still caught in the game?
