After touring the Mazza Museum at the University of Findlay with a women’s group, Gail Peterson of Ada recalls thinking of her love of children’s books, utilizing them over the years in her speech therapy work and often sharing her favorites as gifts.

Gail loved and was in awe of the artwork she saw at Mazza whose website touts the collection at over 8,000 original illustrations.  A friend of Gail’s was a museum docent (leader of guided tours), and Gail quickly volunteered to begin docent training herself as she was planning to retire from the Hardin County Educational Service Center after a lifelong career of speech therapy work.
