She can cast spells---such as making things fly---if she draws the right things. But what should she draw? And how? She tries different lines, different shapes, different ways to hold the brush, more complicated drawings, and more. Will she discover how to cast the spell she needs to leave this dangerous planet, instead of accidentally setting everything on fire again?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003ebundle of 10 short stories\u003c\/strong\u003e (or \"chapters\"). If you read them all, in order, you get a bigger story. But each individual story is standalone and short, which allows reading just one of them before bedtime, for example. Most chapters have Astra try something new, or tackle a new problem, and discover a new fact about her magic. Each chapter also has an \u003cstrong\u003eimage\u003c\/strong\u003e at the start that introduces some new type of line or curve for readers to try.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs such, the stories teach about \u003cstrong\u003epencil control\u003c\/strong\u003e. They encourage Apprentices to start creating their own drawings, copy what Astra is doing, maybe invent their own written \"spells\". All of this is great practice for fine motor skills and great preparation for handwriting later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAstra Buni\u003c\/em\u003e is a recurring character in The Saga of Life and our magical interpretation of the Easter Bunny.
