Remember the book drive we did!? Last Thursday, picture book creators Adam Rubin and Liniers visited a local Title I school to give a presentation about their new book The Truth About the Couch. They talked about how they created it and what it’s like to be in the book industry. In the end, they announced that each child would get a free signed copy to take home, and hearing the joy and excitement from the kids is priceless! Once again, thank you to ALL who helped fund our book drive, we couldn’t have done it without you!
