The Magic Poof visited PS.46, The Arthur Tappan School in Harlem, Queens Explorers Elementary and Spruce Street Elementary in Manhattan reading and sharing books to over four hundred students while spreading the message of the importance of Inclusion and Diversity in media.
Our student readers and audience particularly loved the message that it's ok to feel different all while asking some very informed questions on what it's like to create your own books.
