The first pages

In December, Liam in Ottawa got a letter from his cousin Ruby in Australia. Inside was a photo of Ruby on a sunny beach, holding a holiday ice cream.

"How can it be summer there?" Liam asked, looking out at the snow. Buzzby buzzed beside the window, "Let me show you with an orange and a lamp."

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
