Once upon a time, a place called Michigan, a jolly state in the USA known for its sparkling lakes and lush forests, where winters are snowy and summers are balmy, something magical happens every year. Kids from all corners of the state gather up their shovels and watering cans for a very special mission. You see, Michigan is fondly known as the Great Lakes State, but it could just as easily be called the Great Trees State. Meet Colonel Cornstalk, a sprightly, funny squirrel with a thick fluffy tail and a heart full of environmental love. He loves acorns more than anything else in the world, but he loves the trees even more because they're his home. He's the head honcho of the Tree Planting Brigade, a squad of cool kids just like you, who plant trees all around Michigan. Imagine this: it's a sunny day, birds are singing, and a bunch of kids, each wearing a sun cap and holding a mini shovel, are lined up with the funniest squirrel in command. Colonel Cornstalk, with his cheeky grin and a shiny acorn helmet, leads the way. "Forward march!" he commands, his tiny voice echoing through the forest. The kids dig holes, carefully place the baby trees in, and then cover their roots with soft earth. There's laughter, chattering, and the occasional squirrel-directed acorn toss. Oh, how the forest echoes with their joy! And once their mission is accomplished, they sit around with Colonel Cornstalk, sipping on cool lemonade, each with a satisfied smile. These kids are not just tree planters, but they're also future protectors of Michigan's beautiful green legacy! They know the importance of trees and how they keep our earth healthy. And that's why they're the coolest kids in Michigan, maybe even the whole world.
