The editor for our county-wide Family First newspaper asked to to do a feature article on Darla’s BookWorm Wednesday. The paper comes out in May, so I’ll update you after it’s published. It was so fun to listen to my 11-year-old respond to the editor’s interview questions. She’s so confident and knowledgeable about it — truly in her element.
Between 9-15 children have continued to meet on a regular basis all year long, despite the fact that initially, neither my husband nor I thought it was a viable project. She fully plans to continue the weekly gatherings next fall after summer vacation, and she even hopes to create a curriculum of sorts, while she’s on summer break.
She could be the poster child for my book. Maybe she could do a book tour for me?
Thank you to those of you who have used our Amazon searchbox and other links to support Darla’s efforts! This small, but steady budget has allowed her to be creative with crafts that reinforce the book themes she’s chosen.

That’s wonderful! Go D!
It is so amazing to watch them blossom in their element isn’t it? Inspiring, absolutely inspiring to see them take flight.
Hugs,
