It was a humid morning as I set up our tables at Blalock Park in Venice, FL with the help of several ROTC students from the local high school. The breeze, which was much needed, picked up as the day moved along. The biggest challenges were keeping our signs standing and chasing down blown away bookmarks.

Nissa loves to help out others. We’ve donated to kids book clubs, classroom giveaways, homeless shelters, and awareness campaigns. The latest fundraiser Nissa participated in was for Shepherd’s Little Sheep “Blessing families and raising awareness for Biliary Atresia.”

Happy Holidays from Nissa. I have been to several classrooms, events, and Daisey’s and Brownies Girl Scout meetings to read Nissa’s tales. But the most fun is when the season allows us to read THE BEST CHRISTMAS TREE EVER because we get to make pinecone Christmas trees together.
