The Inspiration Behind Aerial Skye

In 1990, the Aerial Skye story series began as bedtime story-making between Mom (N. Penfeld) and Daughter (Alex). N. Penfield Burnett is a listener. She has professionally “listened” to hundreds of stories during her career as a lawyer, teacher, mentor, thought partner and strategist. This tradition began when she was a girl, drawn in by gifted story-tellers uniquely accessible during her life.
