It only takes five minutes to start your day right. That's the lesson that Katie (Keefe) Wood '04 has been teaching to children ages 5 to 15 through her journal for kids, A Simple Seed of Growth, Gratitude & Giggles.

Since the journal was published in the spring, thousands of students have started their days with it, including kids in Uvalde, Texas.
