She is gearing up for Constitution Week and is available to read to your K-5 class! Please help her reach her goal to read to a class in every U. S. State!!!!

Constitution Week is coming up next month from September 17-23! As I continue my goal to virtually Read Across America, I look forward to "visiting" classrooms with the beautifully illustrated "We the Kids!" I also plan to create a recorded version of this book as an additional resource for teachers and their students. If you would like to schedule a virtual visit to celebrate Constitution Week, just send me a message!!!

I am excited to add these titles to my list of available books!!!!

I am two states closer to achieving my goal to read to a class in every state by the end of 2021. Although the end of the school year is here, I am looking forward to reading to more students in the fall.

Throwback to the official Read Across America Week! I was able to read to my niece's second grade class in March!

What a fun opportunity to read to students in Connecticut!!!!
