Handwritten Thank You Note to JoAnne from President Clinton
“Dear JoAnne ––
Thanks so much for your fun children’s books and the puzzle. It’s a message that needs to get out.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton”
“Children are our most important asset. We are living in a time when it is important for kids to learn about and understand the importance of being active and becoming fit. The Bur Bur and Friends book series is a one way to address this. When parents introduce children to sports, active play and outdoor exploration it often ends up becoming a lifelong passion”
-JoAnne Pastel, President and Founder, Farmer’s Hat Productions
