In these four previously published stories, Katie celebrates Valentine's Day, the Fourth of July, Halloween, and Thanksgiving with her friends.

When a blizzard leaves a family housebound one Hanukkah, they share what little food they have with some starving animals who later return the favor.

Everyone knows that the Fourth of July is our country's birthday. So after a fun parade, Pedro and JoJo join Katie for a party. It turns into a red, white, and blue day as Katie and her friends celebrate.

Pedro's and JoJo's families are on their way to Katie's house for Thanksgiving dinner. But they get stuck in a snowstorm, and the Woos' oven suddenly breaks. Katie wonders what kind of Thanksgiving it will be without sweet potatoes, pie, and most of all, friends.
