"Book your visit now! You will not be disappointed. Moni Ritchie Hadley is a former teacher and it was evident in her warm interactions with my students. On zoom, they were constructing stories, tackling a craft and getting to hear Miss Moni’s wonderful tale of Keiko, her mother and her sweet Oba on Keiko’s 5th Star Festival outing. If you are lucky enough to have Moni Ritchie Hadley visit in person, do it! Otherwise, she shines on zoom! Do not delay!"

"You're so natural reading your stories... I'm thoroughly engaged each time! We can't wait to have you back again and again!
