I was fortunate enough to meet Brad Kadrich, the editor of The Plymouth Observer last week. He told me that they were going to do a story about my speech on children’s illiteracy in the paper. Sure enough, it appeared on the second page of the main news section of The Plymouth Observer and The Northville Record on 10-19-08. I am so thankful that I have met so many nice people on my quest to be an author. I feel lucky that I am able to help children realize their potential and help them understand how important it is to read.
