“You have to write the book that wants to be written.
And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
— Madeleine L’Engle (b. 1918 – d. 2007)

The Shelter Buddies Reading Program
This is such a great idea.
“The Shelter Buddies Reading Program at the Humane Society of Missouri was designed to help our shelter dogs become more adoptable. Participants sit outside of the dogs kennel and read to them, which helps shy dogs learn to relax around people, while teaching high-energy dogs that calm behavior is desirable. When children read stories to the dogs, it also helps them develop their own reading skills.”
