The welcome that I received today was so surprising and amazing I’m STILL thinking about how sweet and wonderful it was! First of, the  welcome sign and balloon towers were above and beyond already. Then to receive a goody bag of water, popcorn and mints? Man, you treat your guests like royalty! Thank you so much!

Each of the groups were fantastic as well! The K-2nd grade kiddos heard George and the Loose Tooth and Abiyoyo with a quick intermission of The Button Factory. Then the 3rd and 4th grade came in to hear Cupcakes and Timmy.

I think I have mentioned in the past, but I truly do love telling Timmy to the older elementary school kids. The story always engrosses them in a way that leaves them absolutely silent in the end, expecting more, absorbing what they just heard. It always makes me so happy when the children begin to get dismissed from the room and they can’t stop asking questions about the story!

I still think about this email I received from a woman who still remembered the story over 10 years later:

Well, again, thank you to Clifford Marshall for the invite and the pictures. If you want to see more or want to see The Button Factory in action head over to my Facebook page!
