SEEDLINGS SPOTLIGHT

We will be showcasing some of Seedlings’ “kids” in upcoming newsletters. Please meet Declan and his reading pal – pet bunny – Zeus!

Declan’s mother sent us some great pictures of him reading to Zeus. Here is what she had to say:

“My name is Mellissa and I am Declan’s mom. Declan loves reading braille to his tiny 2-pound pet bunny Zeus. Although Declan typically reads when sitting up, he’s discovered that Zeus will hop over and listen intently next to him when he lays down. Declan feels that Zeus loves it when he reads to him about animals best. We love Seedlings!”

Happy reading, Declan and Zeus!
