A little preview
At the top of a spiraled hill sat the Library of Wind, where books slipped loose from shelves and fluttered like birds. Alex loved to visit because the books sometimes landed on shoulders with perfect timing. Today a small book named Whisper sat on a windowsill, afraid to fly. Whisper’s pages were blank in places where the story had dimmed, and it refused to rise because it feared being forgotten. The librarian, Ms. Quill, asked Alex to help Whisper remember how to take flight again.
