The Inspiration Behind Aerial Skye
About the Author and Story Series Creator:
N. Penfield Burnett
In 1990, the Aerial Skyestory 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.
She naturally gravitated to the stories of characters within her ancestral tree, as well as her clients from coal mining fields across the US to lawyers and bankers on Wall Street and DC, her professors and neighbors in South Carolina, Tennessee, New York and Washington, DC, and among her closest friends carrying their stories from around the world and from places deeply within their hearts.
Aerial Skye’s Creative Team
Penrosse is proud to support local, independent artists in Virginia. We were also given the rare opportunity to print these books, and the readers’ & listeners’ guide with family-owned printers in Virginia. We celebrate creating art in local community with international impact!
