Thank you to the MOA Community Foundation and Way to Grow for celebrating early literacy with us. We got to tell our stories on a big stage and an even bigger Jumbotron. When you read books in unexpected places, you never know who might be hearing your words for the first time. Isn’t that fantastic?
