About Wild About Reading

I am a mommy, student and author who wants to encourage a love of reading in our children. This is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. So turn off the television and read to your children. Reading and being read to will help develop language and listening skills. Reading will also develop their imagination!

It has been a dream of mine to be a therapist and a writer for a long time. This year I decided to make those dreams come true. I will be graduating with my master's in social work in May and my first children's book will be available in a few months. It is called: The Day No One Played Together.
It is a story about two sisters that learn to get along starring my beautiful daughters; Jadyn and Genesis!
