About
What is Swan Story?
Swan Story is an independently-owned children’s book seller. Founder C.J. Swan wanted a platform to share the stories that have emerged in her time as a parent and a teacher of young children, so she created Swan Story.
What does Swan Story do?
In this world where technology is introduced early, children are being distracted and not given the chance to be part of the world around them. Here at Swan Story, the goal is to embrace all that children can teach us and celebrate the imaginations that make them so unique.
The books sold on this site are written and illustrated by people who want to spark the imaginations of children and educate them at the same time. Teach them to read, create, run, jump, play and just be kids.
Where does the name come from?
The name Swan Story is derived from the myth of the swan song — the last song of the heart. C.J. Swan is telling her stories to be told to the next generations, and Swan Story is her swan song reimagined in words.
