"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!"
Sarah Toy, mom of three young boys.
“It’s an easy way to get in my reading minutes for school! It’s something different from my normal reading schedule.” Gavin F, 12 yrs.
