When Lisa visited our school last year, I was blown away by her kindness, generosity, compassion for kids, and selfless commitment to literacy. Schools and communities thrive when local people with big hearts and even bigger goals, find a need and see what they can do to ensure that, that need is met... and that's exactly what Lisa does with Storytime Crafts. In the weeks leading up to her school visit, Lisa contacted me multiple times to ensure that her book donations would match the needs, interests, and identities of our students. I will never forget the looks on kids' faces when they stepped in my classroom to see that it had been transformed into a free bookstore just for them. It was a truly magical day!
