Dear Louisiana Friends, Summer is here, and that means sunshine, adventure, and plenty of chances to do something amazing—even from your own backyard! Have you ever heard of a bear who teaches kids how to protect the forest? Or an animal that naps on warm beaches far, far away? There are some pretty incredible creatures out there, and I hope you’ll take a little time this summer to learn more about them. Even at home, there are lots of ways you can pitch in—tidying up, helping your family, or just being kind without being asked. And don’t forget: one of the best ways we can take care of one another is by keeping ourselves healthy. There are a few simple habits that are more powerful than you might think, especially when it comes to washing up and keeping germs away. They may seem small, but they’re superhero moves in disguise! Before you take off on a bike ride or dive into a new story, remember to stay safe, stay curious, and enjoy every bit of this sunny season. You might even meet a giant lumberjack and his very unusual pet along the way… I’m so proud of you. Keep shining, keep helping, and keep having fun! Hugs & High Fives, First Lady Sharon Landry
To escape from a fire in an upstairs bedroom, you should have a folding or rope ladder. Help this Dalmatian save her puppy by finding a safe
path across the ladders.
