Here we are. The story of Wilma Rudolph was one of the best books I've read as a child. I too like her wore braces on my legs growing up. She inspired me to know that there is life after braces. https://twitter.com/jonfreadom/status/1599817273291968513

Duval has kept a $3M investment in literacy off the classroom shelves for 316 days. The books are part of the 'Essential Voices' K-5 collection that include topics like religious traditions, cultural histories, and things we do with families. @DuvalSchools please put them back! https://twitter.com/PENamerica/status/1600251299957592064
