"Mimi's materials are excellent ways for young children, teachers, and parents to stimulate and enrich language and literacy growth during early childhood years. Children need to touch and hold the artifacts of literacy and to be exposed to high quality literature that creates a sense of curiosity and wonderment about themselves, each other, and their expanding worlds."
