Former First Lady Barbara Bush and Owen Wells of the Libra Foundation sat in rocking chairs and read stories Monday to a lot of little children.
The former first lady read about Bob the rooster, who mimicked many barnyard animals before he finally learned to crow.
Wells read about the Little Blue Truck that stopped to help a mired dump truck and found it needed help, too.
The kids, ranging from 2 months to 4 years old, attend First Steps Child Care. Their parents are students in the high school completion program. Both programs are under the helm of Sanford Community Adult Education.
