Calvin and Pudge: The Day Spring Woke Up. A fun filled adventure into the real history of May Day

Spring time, festivals and why the world celebrates renewal

Spring arrives quietly.
Sometimes it announces itself with flowers pushing through frozen ground.
Sometimes it shows up as laughter in a park.
And sometimes… it arrives as a question.
When Calvin finds a mysterious flower basket on his porch, he and his snack-loving beagle, Pudge, set out to uncover the real story behind May Day. What begins as curiosity quickly becomes a journey through ancient traditions, forgotten celebrations, workers’ rights, community, and the powerful idea that new beginnings matter.
Along the way, Calvin and Pudge discover that May Day isn’t just about flowers and ribbons—it’s about noticing change, standing up for fairness, and remembering the traditions that help people feel connected to one another.
This is a story about history that feels alive, humor that sneaks learning into every page, and the quiet power of paying attention.
Because sometimes, the most important days aren’t the loud ones.
They’re the ones that wake us up.
