I am 10 years old and my mother put me in my Nana's arms when I was 1 week old, to be safe. My Nana works as a Family and Community Engagement Specialist at Rosedale Middle School in Kansas City, KS. She is also a children's author. Through this time of COVID 19, she has served her students and has donated money, encouraged people and family with words of hope, and ...given books to parents for their children to read."
