Riley Reynolds Slides into Summer

By Jay Albee

Mama’s extended family is ready for their annual summer softball game, and nonbinary fourth-grader Riley can’t wait to see everyone. But this year, the start of summer is even busier than the end of school! There are T-shirts to print, empanadas to fold, cousins to play with, and desserts to taste test—and that’s all before the big softball game!
