Re: Nightly Field Dispatch

Rise and shine, Maya and Leo!

I made you something to remember our season. These are my favourite moments with you. My very best one is on the last page. I’ve kept a copy for the North Pole so I never forget.

Today’s mission: be kind, be brave, and be you.

P.S. If you hear tiny jingling tonight, that’s just me practising.
