This week's featured story comes from the At Home with Martin & Sylvia collection. It's called "The Laundry."

Martin and Sylvia help around the house in many ways. They put their dishes in the sink, they dust windowsills, and they help with the vacuuming. Their least favorite task is the laundry — that is, until the dryer breaks and suddenly they need to hang laundry around the house. White sheets become ice cliffs, and dark blue towels become trees. And who is that sleeping under a sunset of red tablecloths and yellow pants?
