📚✨ A powerful story with an important message.
Congratulations to Melissa Diaz, music teacher at Tabasco Elementary, on publishing her first children’s book, My Love for You is Everywhere: A Book on Coparenting Little Hearts. 💕👧🏻👦🏻🩵
Through her heartfelt story, Ms. Diaz is helping give a voice to children navigating the often unspoken emotions of co-parenting while encouraging meaningful conversations between families and their children.✨🧑🧑🧒🧒
Inspired by her own experiences and the students she serves, Ms. Diaz hopes her book helps young readers feel seen, supported, and understood - while reminding them that their voices and feelings truly matter.❤️ 📖
We are proud to celebrate the incredible impact our educators make both inside and beyond the classroom.🍎💫
