Hayley loves books. She enjoys flipping through the pages and admiring the fun and colorful pictures. One of her favorite activities is when her foster parents read to her or when her brother looks at the pictures alongside her. Books provide comfort for Hayley, especially during the times she waits for her mom to visit. While waiting, she often finds solace in her books. On occasions when her mom cannot make it to those visits, the stories help distract her from the disappointment. Plus, Hayley is a quick learner, and the more time she spends looking at books and being read to, the more she continues to thrive.
