“Kristy visited our library during Black History Month to share her book, The Greatest Thing, and she was FANTASTIC with the kids! She didn't just read the book to them, she engaged with the children and kept them interested throughout the entire program. She also brought memorabilia for the kids to look at, led the kids in a song, and more! We had a great time and I hope we can have her back in the future to partner for an event!”
-Lesley Lard, Youth Services Librarian,
Bonner Springs City Library

“Kristy Nerstheimer gave a wonderful presentation to students at the Sarasota School District. This presentation was virtual and the students were thrilled to learn more about a hometown hero, Buck O’Neil. The Greatest Thing: A Story About Buck O’Neil is a fabulous book. I was excited to announce that the book along with the 20-page, STREAM aligned, Enhanced Curriculum Guide became part of Sarasota’s 4th grade curriculum.”
