Grandma R.E.A.D.S is a community service offering to help during the Coronavirus-19 pandemic. R.E.A.D.S. - Reading Energizes and Develops Soul! Although I am not a biological grandma, I consider the children and young adults of the world to be my grandchildren. I have established a YouTube Channel, titled, Grandma Reads 2020. On the site, you will find books that I have read and put online for public viewing. The books are intentional, as they have a message for the soul. For example, you will find Pass It On!, a book by Dr. Gloria McEwen Burgess. It is the story of my father's chance meeting with William Faulkner, Nobel Prize laureate, who changed the trajectory of my family's life by financing my father's college education. All Faulkner asked in return was to pass it on!
