"It’s great to see that Cape is launching a mental health initiative! I wish all schools were being so proactive!"

"My class has been really engaged and I've even had a couple of conversations with parents about it. Thanks for all your hard work, Jill, to make this happen!"

"Just wanted to say how amazing this project is. It is such a great experience to have the whole school listening, and to have so many readers to keep students interested. Every day my students and I have good conversations about what's happening in the book, and I am pleased to report that 100% are following in the text, and no one has had a single complaint. What an undertaking and accomplishment for you! Thanks for having and implementing such a great idea!"

"Thank you so much, Jill, for bringing this read-aloud to the CEMS and Cape community. It’s a wonderful way to raise mental health awareness and I really appreciate the opportunity to participate."

"I wish I had been given this type of support when I was in CEMS. Hopefully, this project is able to protect and save kids who need it. So proud to be a part of this."

"Thank you all for your support for child mental health. What you have done has reduced stigma and helped more kids and families then you realize. Thanks so much!"

"Thank you for helping us change the way we talk about mental health in our community, schools."

"It's such an honor to be part of this! Thank you for doing this important work!!"

"Thank you for allowing me to be part of this amazing event. I’ve seen how devastating anxiety and other mental health struggles can be in the high school and I believe a lot of those struggles may begin in middle school. I’m looking forward to the reading and to helping as many kids as possible."
