On this episode… we have Ann Braden!!!! Ann is one of host Jeanie Phillips’ favorite authors, and she’s also a former Vermont educator with a new book out, "The Flight of the Puffin". Flight of the Puffin truly feels like a middle grades book for our time: it’s the story of four completely different middle school students, in completely different circumstances, and completely different areas of the country, and how random acts of kindness wind up tying them together.

The book is based on Ann’s own experiences in responding to the 2016 election (and all that came afterwards) by putting massive amounts of love out into the universe, and quite possibly in your mailbox.

In this short clip, author Ann Braden reads from early in the book, where we meet one of the middle school students. Meet Libby.
