About the Author

I enjoyed writing this story to share my experience about how incorporating performance arts education was vital to my academic development. I desire my young readers to relate to this story and reflect on their contributions to the performing arts. For over 20 years, I've served children as a special education teacher, and I work with the speech impaired. Additionally, I tutor as a reading comprehension specialist for academically at-risk students. Reading children's books to my students continues to bring joy to my heart as I teach young learners to read, narrate stories and improve their comprehension skills. Growing one's imagination is evidence that early intervention is essential for achieving academic success.
