Mabel wasn’t convinced that she wanted to read a book about a piece of construction equipment and a flower, and she proceeded to tell Joseph that he needed to write a book about a princess. Joseph responded by drawing a princess crown on top of the digger featured on the cover of her book. “You have the only copy of this book with a princess digger,” he told her, much to her delight.
We loved seeing Mabel connect with the author and express her desires, and the creative way Joseph responded with his art. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who made this unique event possible, especially the individual donors who funded it.
You can make more artistic interactions like this possible. It will take $97,534 to close our funding gap by the end of our fiscal year, ensuring that more students like Mabel have access to creative experiences and are supported in their self-expression.
