Heidi Tyline King Illustrated by Janae Easton

Good morning sunshine and clouds, soft and blue

Good morning grass green, and shiny with dew

Time to wake up from your sleepytime dreams as the robin tuk-tuks and the mockingbird sings

Dappled light showers canopy roads

Spanish moss waves a morning hello

The city is stirring to greet a new day the hot bugs are calling you outside to play

Manatees graze and float in the springs

Alligators laze and hide in the streams

Time to wake up from your sleepytime snooze as the chickadee chirps and the mourning dove coos

Dragonflies flit on the Seminole wind

The Red Hills blaze throughout the Big Bend

The city is waking no time to grow bored so much to discover so much to explore

Mosquitoes buzz in summertime heat

Flip-flops clop to a summertime beat

Good morning sunshine Tallahassee awaits it’ s a new day of wonder a new day to play.
