Changing the world, one child at a time.   
52,000 books and counting...   
             Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.

"It was always clear how connected
Alyssa was to the written word.
I feel lucky to share that connection
with her and to help my students
feel that connection too!"

Alyssa's Poems

HEAVEN
Skipping through a spring green meadow,
Through all the strawberry red and dandelion yellow flowers,
The petals dancing from the light summer breeze,
The stems slightly swaying to the light tune of a blue bird's song.
The summer sun glistens through the warm relaxing meadow.
                                                                             Alyssa
                                                                             9 years old


UPSIDE DOWN
Yesterday my brain flipped upside down
And my train of thought crashed
And thirty of my brain cells died…
So please excuse my attention span in Math.
                                                                             Alyssa
                                                                             8 years old
