Children's Author Lisa Caprelli encourages literacy!

Life since the pandemic changed for many students, teachers, and parents. Many amazing kids with all kinds of talents were able to connect with us to bring education and entertainment with our show THE THING I DO!

The silver lining has been to create a way for kids – like the ones you see on this page – to share and inspire other kids to keep doing what they love.

Read Lisa Caprelli’s story for schools since the pandemic,

We incorporate social emotional learning, team work and STEAM with our virtual author visits!
