Swifty at TLE Anniversary Reading!

Swifty Picked by Struggling Reader
Last fall, we donated a dozen Swifty books to the Portland nonprofit The Shadow Project for their kids with learning challenges. Shadow packaged them nicely as Family Reading Kits, complete with mugs and hot cocoa, and today we happened to see a third grader at Abernethy Elementary School select one of the Swifty kits as a reward for focusing and working hard. He said, "I like the book. I like birds!

Freckle-faced Jack Clevenger, 12, had set up a table in his front yard to sell beverages, $1 cookies and brownies, and the children’s story Swifty’s BigFlight, written by his mother, Lee Jackson. In her delightful little book, Jackson describedthe sky above as “a maze of black birds, tiny crescentmoons twisting and turning alldirections in the wind.”

Swifty's Big Flight gets a "plug" during Swift Watch 2011
Thank you NewsChannel 8, for giving Swifty's Big Flight a little
"air" time. We appreciate it. We would like to remind our fans
that if you visit the swifts at Chapman Elementary School, please
remember to remove what you bring it. Card board boxes don't
look so great in the rain. :-)
