A Truly Wonderful Child

I just loved this article. This thoughtful little girl can certainly teach adults a thing or two about being kind and respectful to senior citizens --- not to mention showing teenagers how important reading can be! Her parents sure brought her up right.

This excerpt will make your day:

First-grader goes door to door with offer to read to seniors. Maggie Kuznia works on her reading while seniors get a visit.

"'Hi Patti,' Maggie says as she enters the senior apartment of Patti Griggs.

"'Hello there, honey,' Patti answers in return.

 "Maggie, who recently turned 7, unzips her backpack adorned with Elsa from 'Frozen.'

"'This one, Maggie says as she pulls out the book for which she was searching.

"Then, Maggie sits down on the couch next to Patti and reads.

"Over the next couple hours, the process will be repeated multiple times. Maggie walks from apartment to apartment, knocking on doors, as residents of Good Samaritan Society Heritage Grove senior living invite her in to read to them. 

"'Mamma llama red pajama,' Maggie reads to 95-year-old Eileen Baird who is seated at her side."
