What is your favorite children’s book?

I have worked with children my entire career, specializing in special education out of college, and then moving into the assistant director position at New Horizon Academy. I love being busy and trying new things, so working in early education is the best combination of both. I couldn’t ask for a better job. When I am not at school, I spend most of my time with friends and family enjoying the outdoors and each other’s company.
