Read-Along and Listen and Say Delays :(

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, I have a cold that is going around, and have been unable to make the recordings for the Read-Alongs and Listen and Says... Check back at the end of January for an update!

Sincerely,
Happy Joy

Letter to my fellow adventurers!

Hello!

I'm so glad you had a chance to share in my adventures!  I'd love to hear your adventures too!

You probably noticed that I didn't color my pages.  I'm hoping you can color them and send me your colorings to share with others!  People use colors in different ways!  Sometimes, people color to make something look pretty.  Sometimes, people color to show emotions!  For some people, red means love, and for some other people, red might mean anger... every color could have a different meaning to someone else!

I'd also love to hear your adventures!  I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
Happy Joy


*************************************************


Note to Parents/Guardians:
You can use a copier to make hard copies of pages for your child to color, or you can scan them into your computer and have your child use a paint program.  Then, scan your child's color jobs into your computer and email them to me as a PDF.  Please include your child's first name and age!

326 Books Distributed :)

326 books have been distributed to children in Gallup, Vanderwagen, Ramah, and Zuni (New Mexico) through the Community Cares Project A
