"We recently had a visit from "Nana Aesop" and it was wonderful. We are a residential facility that serves people with special needs--Nana Aesop was joyful and fun and the children and teens really enjoyed her stories!  She was entertaining and full of positive energy. We look forward to having her back in the future."
