A VERY BUSY WEEK FOR MISS LIBERTY!

Miss Liberty is ready to start a brand new week! This last week was awesome for me and THE BIG SQUEAL! My owner and the author of my book, Carol Alexander read THE BIG SQUEAL to all the students at South School here in Taylorville. Carol was also the featured speaker at the local Kiwanis Club meeting. She spoke about THE BIG SQUEAL.
The following are two excerpts from the Taylorville Breeze Courier:
