"Thank you for making this video. I loved the bird sounds and the sweet horses and donkeys were really listening to me read. It makes reading so fun."

"As a homeschool parent of three kids 7 and under, there’s a lot of juggling involved. Tender Little Hearts “Read to a Mini” program is a fun and helpful resource for kids and parents, to promote independent reading in an interactive way!"
