Mama and Papa Goose Partners with Tuscon International Academy (TIA)!

L-R: Papa Goose, Mama Goose, Dr. Jennifer Herrera (TIA Superintendent) and Morning Blend Host Alex Steiniger

During the Love of Reading Month, the husband and wife team of Mama and Papa Goose, book authors and publishers, traveled from Houston, Texas, to Tucson to help inspire and motivate the students at Tuscon International Academy (TIA) to be avid readers.

Mama and Papa Goose, both first generation college graduates, refer to themselves as the “Literacy Parents of the World for Children.” They want to inspire children to become avid readers in their formative years which then translates to avid learners throughout their lives. Their events target children who are reluctant readers. Then they get them excited about reading books by sharing Mama Goose Stories, which are books that kids can imagine themselves in. They are fantasy and fiction books such as Reading and Rhyming with Mama Goose, Ka’Myrah: The Mermaid Princess, Sammy Please Behave, Chocolate City and Daddy Dinosaur. Mama Goose has authored more than 3,000 books and is in the process of publishing them.

Mama and Papa Goose were in town for the Tuscon Festival of Books on March 2-3, 2019 and for a series of book concerts.

While they were in town, Dr. Jennifer Herrera, TIA Superintendent, was delighted to host the duo and to share in their appearance on the Morning Blend Show, hosted by Alex Steiniger. (Read more here)
