Stories About September is a unique collection exploring the themes of nature, adventure, and seasonal change. In The Friendly Playmate, children on a farm encounter a bear who unexpectedly becomes their playful companion. The Wasp and the Cricket provides an insightful glimpse into the life of a Yellow-winged Wasp, detailing her meticulous preparations for egg-laying in September. In the maritime tale The September Storm, Captain Solomon and Captain Jacob navigate the perils of an approaching storm, working together to protect their ship. The folk-inspired story, The Twelve Months, follows Marushka, a stepdaughter who finds aid from personified months of the year in her quest for seasonal fruits, while her unkind family meets a harsher fate.

This collection captures September’s diverse scenes—from forested farms and wasp nests to stormy seas and enchanted mountains—offering readers a chance to journey through this transitional month.
