An Iowa author has penned a beautiful tribute to a Farnhamville teen whose spirit touched everyone who knew her. Swing, Luna, Swing is a newly released children’s book that celebrates the life and light of 17-year-old Michele “Luna” Jackson.
Michele, lovingly known as “Luna,” had a bright presence and a heart full of joy. One of her favorite places was the town swing set, where she often spent time simply enjoying the moment. The book gently brings those memories to life through soft, thoughtful illustrations—showing Michele with her vibrant red hair, and Luna moths fluttering nearby as a symbol of her nickname and free spirit.
Author Heather Mack wrote Swing, Luna, Swing to honor Michele’s memory in a way that would bring comfort, smiles, and a little bit of magic to those who read it. More than just a story, it’s a celebration of a young life that continues to inspire.
The book is available now on Amazon for $9.99—a tender keepsake for anyone who believes in love, remembrance, and the quiet beauty of small-town moments.
