On the last week of June, I had another opportunity to read my book, Meanie Muffins, to another daycare! Reading to Elementary Schools and Daycare Centers is something I have enjoyed throughout my year as Miss Oklahoma Teen USA.
At the Christian Learning Center, I was SUPER impressed with how well behaved the kids were while I was reading. I read to the three year old's group and the school age group. I was so shocked that a child as young as three could tell me the lesson learned from the book. I told the school age group more about my story and why I felt inspired to write a children's book. This group of kids asked so many questions and I spent a lot time with them hanging out and getting to know each other. I feel really blessed to have the opportunity to go into a classroom, read my book, and hear the kids talk about being kind, respectful, and accepting of other people's unique qualities. Something that stands out to me about this appearance is that I received a message on Facebook from a mother of one of the kids and said that her son was really impacted by my book and she thanked me for taking the time to read it. That was one of the most rewarding things ever!! It helps me know that I am doing my job :)

Thank you so much to the Christian Learning Center for allowing me to visit! I hope to come back soon! :)
