We Are Grateful For You!
Our first book study with Sharon Draper's, Out of My Mind, has been a wonderful success so far. If you have not read this middle-grade novel about a young girl with above-average intelligence who cannot easily demonstrate this because she has severe cerebral palsy, confined to a wheelchair, and cannot speak. The entire book is written from inside her head – what she remembers, how people talk to her, and what she thinks about. We will be offering this book study again in the spring if you are interested in joining in!
If we can be of any assistance, no question is ever considered too small.
