Kim Banuelos
Principal – Shaw Elementary
"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!"
Taelor H.
1st Grade Teacher
“Ms. Jones-Scaife was probably my favorite. We push reading so much so to have a real life author/illustrator was super cool. She seemed super nice, and her background was amazing (bike riding). She started to connect with the kids by asking them about author/illustrators and then once she started reading her own books w/ character voices, the kids were hooked. They wanted to know what happened at the end.”
Joe Chatham
Director, Empower Your Future
“Virtually everyone has a passion for something. Finding that passion and working to make it a vital part of a successful life is a message that Sharon Jones-Scaife presents to students. We were honored to have her read her books and stress the importance of endurance, perseverance and education so that they are not limited in life at Bayles Elementary in Dallas.”
Kerry Wright
Associate Director, Full-Time MBA Students, SMU Cox School of Business
"Partnering with Coffee Creek Media Group for SMU Cox School of Business’s community service project has been incredibly rewarding. Providing Ms. Jones-Scaife’s diverse books to Frank Guzick Elementary students brings joy and representation to young readers. Our MBA students love engaging with the kids through reading and activities, and Sharon’s dedication to closing the literacy gap makes this partnership truly impactful."

"Students were captivated as Ms. Scaife read Mrs. Hughes is Missing, a mystery that sparked curiosity and kept them eager to discover what happened to the missing teacher. They were thrilled by the joyful ending and had plenty of questions for Ms. Scaife to satisfy their curious minds!"
