A girl who's struggling to learn the alphabet visits Paige the Literacy Bus and overcomes her fears as she explores words and letters through play. A celebration of Paige the Literacy Bus, the creative early learning project of Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa Bay and the amazing teacher Tara Tallon-Stone.

A celebration of reading, the alphabet and public education – with creative ideas for struggling readers and for kids of all abilities. A story with hope for everyone learning to read, and so many thanks to caring teachers.
