The Hippo That Flew

"Lewinson’s charming little fable, The Hippo That Flew,

stands as a vivid reminder to children and their parents to

never give up on their dreams and passions. The dreams

of one generation can well become the realities of the next."


We love this accolade on the back cover of The Hippo That Flew,

from law professor and legal scholar Irving Breitowitz. It is

such a great description that clearly depicts the theme of their latest literary

masterpiece for kids!

"Watch SwordPen Publishers grow!"

Watch SwordPen Publishers grow! How Mice Became Small

is an awesome story based on a sixth grade assignment,

originally written by the wife of the author, over forty years ago.

Lewinson discovered the aged and yellowing piece of paper in

the attic of their home, and decided it would make an adorable

children's book. It is incredibly illustrated by Debi Coules whose

artistic talent and imagination rival Lewinson's writing skills.

Random House and Harper Collins are just a few of the many

companies that have given the story rave reviews. It became

the first book to be published by SwordPen Publishers.

SwordPen Publishers is about to release it's second title -

The Hippo That Flew - another timeless treasure! Please

check out their site at www.swordpen.com. They expect to

release four more books this coming year.
