Swodaddy's Backyard
Beyond the tall trees, the creek whispers of a world no one has ever seen.
In Swodaddy's Backyard, a sprawling stretch of St. Augustine grass, towering woods, and a lazy little creek called the Back Creek, the animals have gathered at the Speaking Stump for a very important announcement. Bob the Rabbit bounds through the tall grass. Croakie the Bullfrog holds court by the water's edge. Three banana spiders dangle from a single branch. Mrs. Fancy Fox brings her babies to meet the neighbors. And high above them all, Harding the Hawk reluctantly shares his perch with Mr. Ollie Owl, who simply must take notes for Mrs. Owl back home.
They have all come to hear from Sir Squire the Squirrel, a bold and curious adventurer who has glimpsed something extraordinary from the treetops: a vast, never-ending world that stretches far beyond the distant Wando River. Sir Squire has a dream, and a plan, and today he intends to share both with every creature in the yard.
But big dreams require big courage, ingenuity, and friends willing to believe in the impossible.
Inspired by the real Lowcountry landscape of South Carolina and written in the timeless tradition of Winnie the Pooh, Swodaddy's Backyard is a warmhearted story about community, curiosity, and the call of the great big world just waiting to be discovered.
What lies beyond the Back Creek? Sir Squire intends to find out.
