Last night I had the honor of having my girls meet an U.S. Gold Medal Olympian–who is still inspiring through her words. Kristi Yamaguchi was at a local bookstore here in my area, signing her latest children’s book Dream Big Little Pig. Â I have to say it was amazing to meet Kristi Yamaguchi and listen to her read Dream Big Little Pig to all the children. Â My youngest daughter was in complete awe as Kristi read the book aloud to the whole store. (Guess what I think I was even more in awe.)
The book signing went so fast– I felt like I was the new kid at Starbucks trying to look over the menu and I didn’t know what to order, so I just rushed along too. Â Doh! Â However, it was a privilege to meet Krisiti Yamaguchi as well as have my girls meet this wonderful woman too. Â Not only is she a Gold medal Olympian, Dancing with the Stars winner, but a Founder of a magnificent foundation Always Dream Foundation , a portion of the proceeds from Dream Big Little Pig goes to this foundation. (*Twofer.. you are helping a great organization and teaching a lesson when you purchase this book*)
