I’m so grateful to @abc10tv for sharing my literacy journey. E Train Talks began as an idea to celebrate stories & turned into a project that’s changed my life.
I’m committed to spreading kindness and changing the world one story at a time! Books change lives!

I’M IN @teenvogue !!! It’s hard to find much happiness with everything going on in the world right now, but I’m truly honored to have the opportunity to share my thoughts on #bookbanning alongside 8 amazing #activists & #authors in the fabulous #teenvogue! Book banning is a topic I’m very passionate about & having the chance to tell my truth on such a broad scale means the world to me!

It’s Picture Book 👉🏼 Book Mail Time!
Every picture book holds a little piece of magic inside its pages. The stories help build early literacy and reading skills, spark imagination, encourage big brain thinking, and create meaningful moments between kids and the people reading with them. With colorful illustrations and meaningful storytelling, picture books can inspire, teach, and connect with readers of all ages.
I’m looking forward to reading these stories and sharing them in classroom read alouds and on my podcast.
Thank you so much for the amazing book mail!
