Today I was so happy to deliver #stories to kids who need them the very most, those who are unhoused. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share #books with the children at Mustard Seed School @VILoavesFishes so kids can have the comfort of #kidlit & #mglit stories during the holiday season. Thank you to everyone who’s #given to my #gofundme & #donated books to my #bookdrive. I also want to thank @BookBess for providing so many reads for me to share! These books are going to students in transitional housing & unhoused families. If you’d like to help me share more books, please donate to my GoFundMe or DM me to send books.
Spreading #kindness has never felt so good & important. Working to #endbookdeserts is a top priority of E Train Talks Inc. I am so grateful!

This month’s @TransformHCPS Community Partner Spotlight: Bess the Book Bus! @BookBess reached nearly 9,000 students in our district last year, distributing over 16,000 books. 45 of those pop-up book fairs happened at a Transformation Network school, & the impact is immeasurable!

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. What do these pictures that say to you? Thank you to our friends at Santander Consumer USA for making these moments at our Transformation Network Schools possible. @SantanderBankUS @HillsboroughSch @CapstonePub @The_Pigeon
