Introducing
our second award-winning publication ...
Meet Faith
FAITH FLAMINGO longed to have lanky legs like her peers. However, she drew the short stick when it came to height. She couldn’t figure out her purpose or find any self-confidence. Every Friday, just when FAITH seemed to get comfortable in her skin, her friends disappeared into thin air and she had no clue why. Find out how FAITH walks along a journey in the Everglades of Florida to find her true purpose, and how she comes to love herself as everyone else does.
FAITH FLIES is a 750-word fiction book targeted to emerging independent readers ages 6-10. Other features include an informational fact section on various flamingo species.
