"I thought that the program was very good because of the excellent poetry. When you speak poetry you use your imagination. You did very well at that, I loved all of the poetry. I had a lot of fun acting the part of the dog."

"Thank you so much for coming to my school to tell us stories! You were great!  My favorite story was the duck story, you told the story so well I could picture them in my head with my eyes open."

Dear Ms. Lasana,

I would like to say how much we all enjoyed your presentation this morning. The children were mesmerize by your stories, poetry, and songs.

One of the things I noticed about your presentation was the involvement you allowed for the children. It was wonderful! We would like for you to visit our school again. Thank you so much for teaching us more about the work of Dunbar".

Sincerely, Margo Robinson

THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA

"The children and families at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia are a unique audience. These times are most often accompanied by the stress of mixed emotions and programs such as "Down On The Farm With Granny Goose" provide an invaluable outlet from the stress of illness, if just for a short time. It is my hope that Ms. Lasana continues her storytelling with children in many other settings so that they may receive as much joy from "Down On The Farm..." as the children and families at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia." 

Sincerely,

Stacy Redelheim, MS, CCLS, Child Life Specialist

 Dear Ms. Lasana,

      I cannot thank you enough for visiting us at the Olde City Senior Homes with our Reading Buddies. The children cannot stop talking about it. I have received numerous phone calls from parents wanting to know who Granny Goose is. Your program gave the children a chance to experience something many of them have never seen and may never see again. Thanks again!"
