📚”I loved reading The Foot Book to my son when he was a baby and one night after reading it , I started thinking about how true it is…. You meet a lot of feet in this world!”❤️
Mrs. Tibbs loves to share her love of reading with her Kindergarten students and help them fall in love with books just like she did!
