BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
In Southwest Tallahassee, 60 students at Pine View Elementary just got to take home a copy of "My Omnilocks" written by Shonda Knight thanks to the author's latest partnership.
Knight is working with local McDonald's restaurants to promote her first-ever children's book.
It's all part of a bigger effort aimed at putting an emphasis on youth literacy in the Big Bend and beyond.
"And so to actually now be here seeing this come to life, being in a room full of little kids with all types of hair. Being able to share this and have each of them go home with a copy of it has been a really — real blessing." said Knight.
On top of that, Knight is donating books to each school she visits on this statewide tour and McDonald's is providing apple slices and milk to every student that participates.
The "My Omnilocks" tour's next stop will be in Gadsden County.
