"This assembly was AMAZING! The students were very engaged. The lessons taught throughout the story helped them understand feelings a bit more. I loved how Shanna also had her own children with her, sharing real-life examples of how her story was written to help her own children. Overall, I highly recommend this assembly to any school or group of students who really need to dig a bit deeper into connecting with the emotions of their students." ~Christine Churchill, 1st Grade Teacher

Thank you for your presentation last week. We received wonderful feedback. I wanted to share that when I walked into a classroom on Friday, the students had made origami foxes and decorated their "Consideration of Others" board with them. You made a significant impact, and I look forward to discussing more with you in the future.”
