We loved a recent visit to Unity West School, where Chloe shared The Magic Nesting Doll by Jacqueline K. Ogburn, beautifully illustrated by Laurel Long. Dressed in the traditional Slavic attire representing her heritage, Chloe displayed her collection of nesting dolls and brought the story to life by explaining its meaning so everyone could fully enjoy it.
