~Seedlings Spotlight~

Meet Seedlings reader – Maria and her guide dog-in-training, Emmeline!


Her mom sent us this nice quote: 

“Maria loves to read to her guide dog-in-training, Emmeline, and they enjoy reading together. She loves her Seedlings books because she can always enjoy great stories. It is also excellent training for Emmeline. Thank you so much!”

 

Happy reading, Maria and way to be a great listener, Emmeline!
