    "Shaw Elementary was thrilled to have Sharon Jones-Scaife present to our Pre-K through 3rd graders. Her interactive presentation engaged all students, combining a Total Response System with a captivating Read Aloud and Q&A session. The experience was inspiring, and I highly recommend schools purchase her books—there’s magic in holding a book from an author you’ve met. Thank you, Sharon, for advocating literacy and spreading kindness!"
