An All New Airport Adventure!
Laverne, the Runway Stowaway features the whimsical adventures
of an endangered least tern who nests at the airport. Through the eyes of
imaginary airport characters Propeller Pete, SkyKid Sam, Jet the dog and Flygirl
Pearl, “Laverne” tells the story of a curious California least tern chick who
gets lost, and with the help of her new friends tries to find her way home on
the airport’s runway. “Laverne” was chosen as the small seabird’s name because
it means “born in the spring,” which corresponds with the April start of the
least tern nesting season.
