Yesterday marked the first day of Summer, and we are celebrating with a surprise project from Co-Editor, Bernadette Emerson. Mermaid Tails for dolls are a perfect way to celebrate the magic of reading, and the love of doll play with children of all ages and genders. We hope that you enjoy this special surprise project, and all that Summer has to offer.

To make the most of this season, we have compiled a list of some of our Summer pieces from both this issue, as well as the ones of the past. We hope that you will find so much inspiration, joy, and fun from all of our Summer contributors.

We also have a fun giveaway over on our Facebook page that we hope you will take advantage of, as we kick off this new season.
