Kathy, I'd love to see every child enjoying books as much as these wee readers. This contest was so much fun that I think I'll hold it again next year. Kati H. plans to take her daughter to a brick-and-mortar Barnes and Noble to choose how to spend her $15 gift card. It warms my heart to know a child will enjoy browsing a bookstore as a result of this contest. Thank you for helping us celebrate the Photo Parade.
DeleteCongratulations to Kati and Kya!!!
