"Ready to Swim" by The Willowbee Tree

This week's Free story comes from the "The Willowbee Tree" It's called "Ready to Swim" It is back to school time for Piper and Clancy, the two older Willowbee children. Clancy is sad about leaving kindergarten and worried about what first grade will bring. The willow tree seems to understand this and takes the Willowbees to an island in the American south where an alligator, a white ibis and several ghost crabs show them something miraculous: the moment when a little loggerhead turtle makes the difficult and courageous journey to the sea. Each week on the Sparkle Stories Podcast, we share a free story from one of our original story series!
