Excerpt:
“Michelle Obama came to Los Angeles on Thursday to surprise a group of kids at a school near skid row.
It’s easy to surprise kids. They don’t read press releases.
The former First Lady was in Southern California as part of her Becoming book tour, but if you asked the four-year-olds at Para Los Niños Early Education Center, they’d probably tell you she was here to read them The Gruffalo.
She was also there in partnership with the Child 360/First Book initiative to emphasize the importance of reading to young children.”
I wonder if we could collaborate with Comics 4 Kids with this space. They are very like-minded, but deal with younger children. Our efforts will be focused more with teens and pre-teens as we are also going to be emphasizing college prep as well.
