The Swallows Have Arrived!

I just came across Kathryn Fitzmaurice's blog. She is the author of The Year the Swallows Came Early, the book we just finished reading together. We loved hearing what happened to Frankie and Groovy. It was our pleasure to experience their growth and watch them change.

Kathryn Fitzmaurice just reported on her blog that the swallows arrived in San Juan Capistrano on March 19th! You can read her article about it here.

As Frankie says, "They always come back. Without you having to ask them." What do you think Frankie means when he says that? Why would the fact that the swallows always come back matter to Frankie?
