Celebrating someone’s birthday often includes presents given to the birthday boy or girl.
Lower school Vice-principal Remee Tam turned the tables on this tradition by sharing her gift with Academy students.
On Oct. 26, Tam read her birthday book, “I Wish You More” by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld, to sixth graders.
“This beautifully written story is about endless good wishes – wishes for wonder, friendship, curiosity, strength, laughter and peace,” said lower school assistant librarian Heather Stenger.
“I Wish You More” promotes the acknowledgment and joy of everyday life and reminds readers to cherish even the littlest of things.
Inspired by Tam’s book, the sixth graders followed the reading in a story-making project on their iPads.
