Pip

Pip, the little brother, is the family block-tower builder. He stacks one block, then another, then another, with his tongue poking out in concentration, until the tower is taller than he is. When it wobbles, he holds his breath. When it falls, he laughs and starts again.

His favorite place of all is the Campfire Clearing. When the stars come out, he sits close to the fire with a stick of marshmallows, turning it slowly until it is golden. He loves the crackling, the warm glow and the stories told around the flames.
