BOSTON – Thauana Moura moved to Massachusetts from Brazil in 2000 when she was 11 years old.
Although she started off in the Everett public schools, by her sophomore year, Moura's parents enrolled her at private Catholic school, Cristo Rey Boston High.
Many New England elementary schools are celebrating Dr. Suess on his birthday Wednesday by reading "The Cat in The Hat" out loud.
The beloved author, who was born March 2, 1904, wrote and illustrated some 40 children's books, including "Oh, the Places You'll Go!," "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" and "The Lorax."
