A
s part of the Blue Met Festival, Richmond Square was pleased to have author Alma Fullerton come and speak. Mrs. Fullerton is now an avid reader and writer, but that was not always the case. Growing up she had difficulty learning how to read, but with hard work and a great deal of strength she is now a published author. Mrs. Fullerton shared her stories about learning how to read, and taught us about the importance of hard work and perseverance. Literacy 
changed Mrs. Fullterton’s life. More than an author, Mrs. Fullerton is also a painter. She shared with us some of the many different version of a book cover she created for her book Burn. Everyone was 
excited when Mrs. Fullterton signed some of her books for us!
