Our school district participated in the Little Read program through a partnership with Lenoir-Rhyne University. The mission is to make reading come alive to elementary school children and their families with the appearance of a major children's author. Students read the book, saw a play of it and then created an original work of art or wrote about an important theme in the book. Sophia was selected as one of three winners for her school and was recognized on stage during a celebration ceremony with the author Cynthia Lord. It was a proud parent moment (actually I had tears as Cynthia spoke about the book). Over 1,000 were in attendance.
Hearing directly from the author on this important topic (family in which one child has autism and exploring the family dynamics) was touching and moving.
Sophia is such a kind, thoughtful person; we are so proud of her!!!
Love you honey!!!!
