In summer, the days are long. The weather gets hot, and the sun can feel really bright

I can try to wear light clothes and a sunhat to stay cool

Light clothes sometimes
 feel loose and funny

My body might sweat more in summer. I can remember to drink lots of water and shower more to feel better

Sometimes sunscreen feels sticky, but it helps keep my skin safe from the sun

It's OK!

If I feel too hot or tired, I can take a break in the shade or sit near a fan

Doing these things helps me stay safe and enjoy all the fun that summer brings!

Summer is fun!
