Parent participant, Marisela, shares that, "before, they only looked at the drawings and turned the pages, now they grab the book and sing, hug it, and point to each thing that happens." Collaboration and connectedness are the backbone of our community, which is why we love it when families and learners alike let us know how we are doing! Thank you, Marisela, for the kind words!
