Meet Ms. Dearsha
Dearsha shares her love of reading and her writing talents and encourages creativity with little ones at Story & Song. You’ll find her at each week’s StoryTime reading new favorite stories and leading a craft project. She also personally selects each item for our BookHugs program, making sure each child has a delightful reading adventure with each BookHug delivery.

Literacy Movement
READ TOGETHER, BE TOGETHER is a nationwide movement developed by Penguin Random House in partnership with Parents magazine that celebrates the importance, and power, of the shared reading experience between an adult and a child. Reading aloud regularly to babies and young children is one of the most effective ways to foster early literacy and is a key factor responsible for building language and social skills.
