This week's free story comes from the Martin & Sylvia's Nature School collection. It's called "Winter Wonder"   At Goose-eye Wilderness Camp, Martin notices that his friend Sam is feeling tired of winter and missing her home in Arizona. He hesitates to tell her that there are still several weeks of winter left, but luckily Helmut, the apprentice from Germany, knows exactly how to show Sam the way to appreciate the gifts of Winter.   If you enjoyed that story, there are hundreds and hundreds more where that came from.
