This #NationalLiteracyMonth GRPS Foundation is proud to recognize Grand Rapids Public Schools Alumni Children's Author: Tawana Dudley! 

As a young mom of three children, Tawana Dudley wanted to make learning fun for her kids. Going to the library was part of their weekly routine. She often noticed there were few books that highlighted children of color and their unique names. When a child sees similarities between them and characters in their story, it makes a difference. She wrote her book Name Game A to Z, to be a fun, engaging resource that she wished she had when her kids were little.
