Maureen Rust, school library media specialist for Wheeler High/Middle School in North Stonington and a member of the board of directors for the American Friends of Kenya, visited Kenya in July and took this photo at the Teresa Nuzzo School, a parochial K-8 school in the Thika District of Kenya. Rust says Sister Mabel, the school's headmistress, is a powerful advocate for reading at the school. "She makes sure every child has a book in their desk for recreational reading and asked the children to show us their choices. It was wonderful to see Professor Mama's book being so proudly displayed and read by children from around the world!
