Mrs. John is our wonderful neighbour (literally! She lives next door) who comes in to read us stories once a week. She is so calm, quiet, comfortable and relaxed, she understands that children may already be doing something very important and not be interested in dropping everything to come to her, and she is happy to read the same story every week if that is what a child needs. Some children who may not be able to sustain their attention for more than a few minutes in some contexts can sit and listen and talk about stories with her for much longer. We are so grateful that in the midst of her busy life out in the community, she still finds time to come to us.
Thankyou, Mrs. John!
