The Student Parent Resource Center would like to invite you to a virtual book reading by a phenomenal 7-year-old little girl, Mackenzie Smith who wrote a book about her experience during COVID-19 titled, “My New Normal.” This event is geared toward students pre-school through 5th grade, however; anyone is welcome to join as we all have to experience this “new normal” way of living and can relate to the process of dealing with challenges of every day life during COVID-19.
Mackenzie will be available to answer any questions children or parents may have on becoming one of the youngest authors or why she decided to write her book, etc.
For more information on how to get a copy of the book “My New Normal” and obtain access to the virtual link, please click https://forms.gle/nfYUjftQvE5nTnty9 and fill out the google doc.
