    Caterflies and Ice - Asia Citro, M.Ed.

    PROLOGUE

    These days my cat Sassafras and I are always desperately hoping we’ll hear our barn doorbell.

    I know most people are excited to hear their doorbell ring. It might mean a present or package delivery, or a friend showing up to play. But our doorbell is even more exciting than that. Because it’s a magic doorbell. When it rings, it means there’s a magical animal waiting outside our barn. A magical animal who needs our help.

    My mom’s been helping them basically her whole life. And now I get to help too . . .

    SPRING SNOW

    CHAPTER 1

    A shower of powdery crystals glittered in the air and fell on my face.

    Brrrr. I grinned.

    Snow. Is. Awesome. And this snow was especially awesome because it was a surprise spring snow. I thought it would be almost a year before I saw snow again.

    As I bent down to grab another armful of the powdery white fluff blanketing the lawn, I heard a thump behind me.

    I turned to see a little orange face smooshed against the window.

    Mrrrfff.

    Poor Sassafras. He hates water. And because snow melts into water when his warm kitty paw touches it? Yeah. He pretty much hates snow as much as I love it.

    Mrrrfff. Thump.

    I trudged over and put my hand against the windowpane. Inside, Sassafras raised his paw to the same spot. Hmmmm . . .

    Wait a minute, Sassafras. Let me find my Thinking Goggles. There’s gotta be a way for you to play outside and not get wet!

    I ran off to our barn and peeked inside. There they were—next to some of my mom’s old science journals.

    I grabbed my Thinking Goggles, pausing for a moment to run my hand over a photo in one of the journals. My mom’s notes said the creature in the photo was a fweep (which is very fun to say), and I could feel its soft-as-silk fur through the photo. I smiled. The photos of magical animals always amazed me. Mom gave me my own camera, and I’m allowed to take one photo of each magical creature I help. I like to add them to my science journal with my notes. Because every photo saves a bit of magic with it, it’s a great way to remember the sweet magical friends I’ve made.

    I popped the Thinking Goggles on my head, made sure they were close to my brain (to give me awesome ideas quickly), and ran back to my poor sad cat in the window.
