Review for Bess the Book Bus Inc, Tampa, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

We met Jenn and Bess because we also give away books. No where near the level that Jenn and her crew does.
When she does one of her tours up the east coast on her way to Maine, she makes our day by stopping in Camden, NJ for a day. We'll arrange a venue and Jenn takes it from there. The quality of her books is amazing but what really makes our day is the way she is with kids and parents. She treats each child as if they were her own. The kids feel the love and are immediately at ease.
Jenn also empowers everyone at the event, she will make sure all the community partners are part of BessTheBookBus for the day.
I have no idea how she does things logistically, but she always has enough books and will let us cherry pick what we want to give away ourselves.
I am not sure I could do what she does, just being on the road for weeks on end would get old.
And she sleeps in the Bus sometimes to save money.
I am so proud to know her and feel so privileged to be able to work with her even if it's just one day a year.
