Ein Spaziergang durch die Jahreszeiten
Emma liebt es, jeden Monat in den Park zu gehen und die Natur zu beobachten. Im Frühling sieht sie die ersten grünen Blätter an den Bäumen, und die Blumen beginnen zu blühen. Der Sommer bringt lange, warme Tage mit sich, an denen sie gerne unter der großen Eiche sitzt. Als der Herbst kommt, werden die Blätter rot und gold, und sie sammelt sie für ihre Kunstprojekte. Im Winter ist der Park ruhig und weiß, doch Emma findet immer noch Schönheit in der Stille.
