I can’t figure out how to follow the blog! Is the link working?

As an upper school learning specialsit, I’m really excited about your work and can’t wait to order your book.

Hello Jennifer,

I appreciate your interest and look forward to hearing reactions from you, as you read my book. Please let me know if you have any question, would you? All the best to you — Irene
