Book Cover & Preview Text
His friends began to shriek in horror as Bluey fell under the cat's paws. On hearing the noise, Chickadee's eyes flew open. He dove down towards Kitty and pounced on her head. Chickadee took both feet to Kitty's whiskers and pulled as hard as he could. He then pummeled Kitty's head. Even under attack, Kitty would not release the little blue bird. She was too strong.
Discouraged, Chickadee flew back to the clothesline to speak to the others. “We have to quickly come up with a plan, he cried.” They quickly huddled together and decided on their plan of action.
All at once, the birds landed on Kitty and pecked, hit and pulled. Crying out in terror, Kitty finally let go and Bluey was able to get from under her paws.
Hearing the disturbance, the Brown's ran outside to see an injured baby Bluebird in their back yard. "Poor little birdie. Where did he come from?”
The woman carefully picked Bluey from the ground and gently stroked his head to comfort him.

About the Author
Judith was born and raised on the breathtaking Island of Bermuda located in the Atlantic Ocean. She discovered her talent for writing as a child and has since become a published author.
Some of Judith's poetry was included in the "Portraits of Life" and "A Season of Flowers", which were both published by The National Library of Poetry.
As a teenager, Judith did not take her literary skills seriously until she discovered herself writing musical lyrics and poems for her friends. When her friends requested more of her writings, she began to understand her gift of writing. From those moments Judith was joyfully inclined to meet their needs.
Judith's inspiration to write, I Can Fly, came to her during her daily walks about her hilly property as she quietly watched birds of various species play and sing together. She watched their behavior and how they interacted with each other. In a way, they acted like humans.
The story focuses on consequential behavior or the management of behavior and its consequences. Judith raised her two sons to live by the laws of the land and by the rules of her home. She also taught Galatians 6:7, which reads, "Be not deceived (or not be led off course by other's influences); God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
