Story Prompt: Luna has landed!
Summer is here which means Luna is back in town! This year, she is returning from some very thrilling travels from all over the world! For her summer homecoming, she wants to share her exciting adventures across the globe with us.
Where did she go? What did she see? Who did she meet? What did she learn? We want to hear from you!
