A pair of science fiction short stories from New York Times Bestselling Author Susan Sizemore!
FOR THE CHILDREN
On the eve of a galactic war, the crew of a human space station on the border where the war will begin work to give the children on board a happy holiday. Humans have many holidays, and it becomes important to celebrate all the special days Earth holds sacred. The children need to celebrate all the things that make human cultures important.
DISH OF THE DAY
War is forbidden among galactic civilizations but contests of skill are still life and death matters. Teams compete for power, planets, resources. Humans may not be the fastest, strongest or smartest among the species in the universe - but we sure can cook.
