Testimonials: 

“Thank you, Kid Literacy for being able to arrange, Mr. Kwame Mbalia, for taking time to speak with our 3rd-5th graders.  He warmed the teachers’ hearts and captured the students’ imagination and future endeavors.  The students truly enjoyed the Q&A and during our Book Fair they were requesting your books, especially the graphic novel.  Each student and teacher appreciated their own book, and the teachers requested a classroom set so they could share the books for years to come.”
