My entry for Susanna Hill's "The In Just Spring Contest!!!"
It could use work, but I wanted to enter, so here it is. :)
(UPDATE: I changed it to just a snippet! Maybe you'll get to read the whole thing in book format someday! *Fingers crossed*)

Squirrels zip and zoom, stop to scold
Stella.
“Enjoy the day,” the breeze
whispers and caresses.
“Time to fly your kite!” dad says.
Stella knew Spring was really here!
