"National Arts in Education Week is a national celebration recognizing the transformative power of the arts in education. The celebration is designated to bring attention to this cause for elected officials and educational decision makers across the country and to support equitable access to the arts for all students."
As a child, I loved to collect and read the Amelia Bedelia books by Peggy Parish. When I found out that there was a statue, I knew I had to put visiting it on my bucket list. The statue is located at Harvin Clarendon County Library in Manning, where Peggy Parish was a native.
