Children's Book
January 16, 2026
I consider this story an object lesson in flying taught me by my three year old granddaughter. Ava, of the child tribe - a genuine upstart of humanity where commingled planes manifest in visions given her by the Mischiefs. Aviator Cornelia Corvidia Crow in this tale is a force of coincidence ripened in the girl-become-crowtégé in self discovery and expression.
As the story progresses one things becomes clear; it's not just the dark creature outside the pages who is inclined toward mischief. A look of approval by another character may make you ask not just WHO but also WHO else?
