The Bookstock B.E.S.T. Awards (Bookstock Extraordinary Student/School/Teacher) were presented to fourth grade students from Detroit Public Schools who wrote the top essays entitled, “My Favorite Book Character…and Why.”
4th grade B.E.S.T award winner Daiana Glover and her teacher Lori Jennings chatted with Tati on Live in the D today! Daiana wrote about the story of Pinocchio in her essay because, "it shows how you can be yourself and not have to lie about it."
