Book Synopsis: Family and friends turn hardships into miracles in the delightful children's story She Never Asked for Wings. Cob and Pen build their nest in the beautiful southern orchard of Westorchid, knowing that soon their baby swans will arrive. One evening, Pen lays her third egg at the very moment a star flickers, signaling that this swan will be special because it glistens under the stars. Three playful swans, Loc, Ty, and Cal preen their fluff and dunk for pond weeds enjoying life to the fullest. Loc and Ty grow bigger and bigger every day, but Cal remains small. Then one day, Pen discovers that Cal has no wings. Despite the beautiful swan's inability to fly, Cal smiles and sings the loveliest songs ever. Magic begins when Bo gathers all the swans to build wings for Cal. Admired by a loving family, a loyal friend, and a shining star, Cal becomes the angel swan who flies freely.
