Hi Mary Jo,
The "Wings" pages are beautiful and certainly would attract the attention of both readers and 
non readers. I'd love to develop a library of these kinds of materials  which would correlate to 
our middle school science/social studies curriculum and be available to our teachers online.

This is great work!
