This week's featured story comes from The Willowbee Tree collection.
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.
