Under the cool hedge, Oona set out with her smallest leaf cup. She wanted one sweet sip of morning dew from the tallest flower at the garden edge. The grass brushed her paws, swish-swish, and one thorny burr stuck to her belly. Oona tugged it free and kept going, slow and soft, until the flower’s yellow face nodded above her nose.

Oona had no dew, but she had sunshine to share; can you spot the tall flower where her sweet trip began?
