I enjoyed being asked to speak and participate in the 50th Anniversary of the War on Poverty in BHM. I took some of your books and gave copies to two African American judges and also Odessa Woolfolk, President Emeritus of the Civil Rights Institute, who introduced me.

Keep up the good work you are doing, getting your published works accepted by many prominent institutions.

Best regards

Mother (Brandi) of seven year old Saving the Manatees fan shared photos of him reading, coloring, and doing the activities in his copy of Saving the Manatees. A recent Facebook informed us that he enjoyed his book so much he took it school last week and shared it with his teachers and classmates. Below are some of the pictures his mother took of him reading, coloring, and completing the sight word and other activities in the book. Thank you for sharing. www.meredithetc.com https://meredithetc.com/saving-the-manatees/
