The second book in the enchanting Heartwood Hotel series, Heartwood Hotel - The Greatest Gift by Kallie George will warm your heart with its endearing characters and exquisite illustrations. This class is designed to be fully interactive and students are expected to be fully engaged. There is grace for the shy or introverted, of course, but if interacting with teacher and peers is uncomfortable for your student, this class is not a good fit for them.
