"Children are made readers on the laps of their parents." Emilie Buchwald
Every day teen moms & babies come to school. For the first time, we are creating a library for them. For a comfortable, inviting space we have rocking chairs and plenty of bilingual infant books for the young moms to share with their little ones.
