Mary Kay wearing one of Ione's hats with students from Braham Area Elementary School.
Mary Kay Bodeen is one of our busiest BookPALS in Minnesota! She retired from teaching a few years ago, but that didn't keep her out of the classroom. This winter, Mary Kay has been reading at Braham Area, Coldspring and Cambridge-Isanti schools during I Love to Read Month in February and Read Across America in March. She embellished her reading of Kiki's Hats by wearing wonderful hats knitted by her friend Ione Hurt. In this book by Warren Hanson, Kiki loves to knit hats and give them away, leading many other people to be generous. As Mary Kay says, "Thanks to Ione for the hats. She's a REAL Kiki to me!"
