Nancy's Bookshelf: Reading Pals & Local Readings

Tina the Ballerina

On this reading-themed episode of Nancy's Bookshelf, Reading Pals' Community Outreach Coordinator Michelle Curran invites volunteers to help elementary school students improve their reading skills. 

Then, local writers read from their books: Emily Gallo reads from her newest novel, Ruby & Kate. And author of the children's book Tina the Ballerina, Carol Gray, describes the bedtime story she created for her daughters when they were young. Her now grown daughters, Gail and Carol Stone, read from the newly published version of Tina the Ballerina. Dodie Johnston wrote a memoir about her years teaching at a private women's college in China. Dodie reads Judy's story from How Was China?
