While “Summer pops like a green balloon,” in Barbara Crooker’s poem “Surprise,” musical performers Uncle John & Mikey narrate another balloon contretemps in their song “Hardley, A Clown in the Sky.” Gail Picado’s story, “I Want and Buy Me” tells the tale of two sisters who use those expressions so often that people have forgotten their real names; and writer Erica Orloff introduces us to Russian snow fairies and an irascible czar in “Princess Alexandra and the Morning Frost.”
