Dear Melissa,
Thank you so much for being with us yesterday for World Read-Aloud Day! The students absolutely loved the Roly Poly and Fox and Crow books! For PreK and Kinder to remain so entertained is quite a feat! Your time is very much appreciated, as well as your enthusiasm, love and passion for writing!
Sincerely,
Linda C., Edison Elementary
Gainesville, TX
