excerpt from “Liam Looked Up”
Liam loved to play outside.
He’d run and jump and swing and slide.
Whether playing with toys or climbing a tree,
Outdoors was where Liam wanted to be.
One day, Liam heard a funny sound.
He stopped to listen. It was all around.
He heard it again, a rustling sound, and then a whoooosh, very near.
He looked but saw nothing to his left or his right, so he followed the sound with his ear.
Liam looked up.
