Earth stretched and beamed at all who lived upon her surface. "Hello, dear friends! My name is Earth, and I have many wonderful stories to share with you. Today, let’s discover how I change through the year and what makes my seasons so special."

"In spring, my chilly air warms up, and seeds begin to sprout. Rain helps plants and trees to grow, filling me with colorful flowers and sweet smells. Animals wake from winter naps and have their babies, and everyone feels excited for the warmer days ahead!"

"Summer is when I am at my warmest! My days are long, and the sun gives lots of light and energy. Plants grow big and strong, fruits ripen, and people spend time at parks and beaches. It’s the perfect time to enjoy my warmth and watch all life thrive!"

"When autumn arrives, the air cools down again. My trees let go of their leaves, painting my hills and valleys with beautiful colors. Animals collect food to prepare for winter, and people celebrate harvests with tasty treats like apples and pumpkins."

"Winter is my quiet time. My days are short and cold, and sometimes snow falls, covering me in a soft blanket. Many animals rest in warm dens, and plants sleep until spring. People wear coats and mittens and find fun in the snow, waiting for my next awakening!"
