"Miss H performed her show, Love Yourself More, for the homeschooling group at my library. One kid said it was her favorite Homeschool Hang ever and she liked being able to go on stage and play games. Another told me she thought Miss H was very funny. I appreciated the positive messaging and focus on social-emotional learning."—Kate Lambert, Children's Librarian​, Saratoga Springs Public Library
