| Greetings, from Guardian Whiskers! |

From all of us to all of you, we wish you a Happy New Year ! Thanks to you, this year was truly meaningful. Over 500 kids from the Madison area and Wisconsin spent time reading with a Book Buddy, building confidence, motivation, and a love of books along the way. The Book Buddies enjoyed every moment, and we are excited to spread the joy of reading even more in the year ahead. We hope to see you next year at a Book Buddies reading event! |
