I3 Academy-Elementary's communication coordinator reached out to Author Vallean J. after being recommended to check her out from her time at Springville. The coordinator took the recommendation, reached out, and it went from the DM's to reading "Colors At First Sight" & "Walking Through the Ocean" to fitting grades. Author read to the Kindergarten classes, first, and second graders. She was even invited back the following week to read to two classrooms of third graders, with an open invitation to come back anytime..... What an incredible experience!
