33. The Story of Gaining Ground Literacy - Lisa Shotts and Kirby Mackenzie

Meet Shotts & Kirby. They're teachers on a mission - a mission that completely gripped our hearts. If you love books, the Scholastic Book Fair or simply smile when you picture your favorite book as a child, then this episode is for you. They are driving their nonprofit bookmobile into metropolitan book deserts and changing everything about literacy in the process. "We have found a cure for something, and we just need to get it to the people." Books and teachers are really changing the world.
