Teachers & parents looking for an easy win before school starts 🍎

Sadie the Story Lady just dropped a wonderful read-aloud of Mia’s Mouses. It’s engaging, educational, and perfect for iPad time that builds language skills instead of just filling minutes.

After they watch, the physical book is ready for shared reading, word hunts, and those tricky plural nouns.

Watch the video (link in bio) and grab the book for your classroom library or little learner.

Summer is the perfect time to let kids dive into stories that spark their imagination, build their vocabulary, and keep those reading skills sharp for the fall.

Parents, grandparents, and educators—I want to hear from you! 👇

🎄 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐚! ✍️

I'm often asked where the character of Mia comes from, and the truth is, she's a heartfelt combination of my three amazing daughters and my wonderful nieces!

👧 𝐌𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭: Mia is energetic, joyful, and always excited to make new friends. She has a constant wonder and curiosity about the world around her, which seems to guide all her adventures.

🌟 𝐌𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: She absolutely loves to dance and sing and, more than anything, is driven by a love for learning new things. And whatever she learns, she gives back to others by sharing it with her friends and family.

🤝 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Mia has a natural gift in asking others for help. She knows it’s a sign of strength and learning, and she trusts people like her parents, her teacher, Ms. Jess, and her sweet older sister, Pia, to guide her.

Mia's stories are filled with the spirit and joy of childhood that I often saw at home when my girls were growing up. I hope Mia and my books inspires your own kids' curiosity and love for reading and learning!

🎁 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭! Want a fun activity for your little ones? If you Like this message and DM me "Day 3 Word Search" today, I'll send you a free word search puzzle from my book, 𝑴𝒊𝒂'𝒔 𝑭𝒂𝒓𝒎 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝑷𝒖𝒛𝒛𝒍𝒆𝒔!📚
