As a Reading Specialist for over 15 years, I have worked with many Arizona elementary and middle school students, helping them to achieve their reading and writing goals. However, I have also witnessed that blasé attitude students take on when their reading and writing efforts only amount to a grade on a test or an assignment.

As a Reading Specialist for over 15 years, I have worked with many Arizona elementary and middle school students, helping them to achieve their reading and writing goals. However, I have also witnessed that blasé attitude students take on when their reading and writing efforts only amount to a grade on a test or an assignment. For this reason, I decided to create the SunriseKid Publishing program, where students get their stories published, celebrated and shared by others. The SunriseKid program provides that special opportunity for valley students to express their joy for writing while becoming real book authors in the process.
To see the joy and excitement on the faces of students when I walk into a classroom to deliver their published books literally brings tears to my eyes. In addition, the books we publish for students, both hard copies and ebook copies, elicits that desire to read together as a family making many happy memories for years to come.
