May we introduce you to Geneva Smith, an awesome librarian, who is so dedicated to her "home away from home," her library. I have known Geneva since she was ten years old! She is Sally's daughter and I consider her my "niece!" Geneva is our Editor and we really appreciate the time she gives to our dream.

Besties had the best day ever! Sally and I were invited by the Engineers to present to the first, second, and third grade classes. Boy, oh, boy! We met some fantastic students and teachers that put their best foot forward! Sally and I jumped on the train that is Martin and had a great ride! Thank you!
These are some of the awesome parents who were invited to a presentation of their own and they received us so warmly. Mrs. Gibson is so committed to parent involvement and this was an opportunity for us to speak to parents about the importance of reading to their children. This was a first for us and we'd love to see other schools invite their parents.
The parents were so focused on our presentation and we took every chance we could to support them with information to help their children succeed in school! We loved that the principal, Mrs. Gibson, gifted every parent who attended a copy of our book! Wow! They were so cute in line waiting to receive an autographed copy.
This was the first time that Besties gave out our new aprons to the students who earned a turn at the molcajete! It is our new marketing tool and it was a huge success!

Sally and I had a great time at Chumbley with the first, second, and third grade students. The children have a beautiful campus and an inspiring library. Thank you, Mrs. Kelly Torres, the super librarian, and Mr. Ramiro Salazar, second grade teacher, who hosted a great morning!
Besties presented, Cascarones and Chocolate Bunnies to the 1st and 3rd Graders.
These students helped with an editing lesson and earned a treat bag of cascarones!
