When Brooke Gantt was young, she loved to listen to the quiet and explore the world around her. She read the encyclopedias in her library at home.
While reading the encyclopedias, Brooke discovered plays inside of the encyclopedias. She began to put plays on for the children in her neighborhood, on her back patio and a school in fifth grade.
This made Brooke look closely at the written word. Brooke wants you to see that reading is like dancing or singing. You must practice if you want to be successful at it. Brooke wants you to get the message that books are fun - it is okay to enjoy yourself.
