for bringing books to life...

magic. It can take you from outer space to the Outer Banks of North
Carolina. Either way, the journey is magical.

those little horses... Great job you're doing. I'm proud of you."

"Keep up the wonderful work you do. I often tell
people that Lassie was the first therapy dog--the first to

Your Reading Is
Magic program and volunteers are heroes every time they walk
into a school or library. Using little miniature
horses to inspire young children to read is most creative.
Congratulations on your wonderful charity, spirit and
