FOUNDER STORY:
Roxanne Dyck (staff; founder) discovered that children’s books are beautiful, fabulous, and poignant…all while trying to keep her extremely active first child from tearing her house apart. She discovered that her daughter could channel her energy, intensity and imagination into an engaging story, all the while having a shared experience with mom and being exposed to great art and print, over and over – some roots to becoming literate.

Skill-building, imagination-blossoming, relationship-building…who knew that reading together could be so great?! Reading together became treasured times to look forward to, because of all the great stories they were looking forward to discovering and experiencing, and because of the trusting, open bond forged between mother and child through those times.
