* “Stella and Charlie, Friends Forever” and “Maggie’s Second Chance” are books chosen for Braille Tails. Braille Tails is an amazing program “that converts books celebrating the bond between children and animals into Braille so children attending schools for the blind all over the country could enjoy, and be inspired by, the same books sighted children have cherished for years. Since the program’s inception, Bernadette Peters, Broadway Barks’ volunteer Charlene Sloan, and Bill Smith (1 Love for Animals) have converted thousands of children’s books about animals into braille and distributed them to schools for the blind and lending libraries throughout the country.”
Braille Tails 2010

“Maggie’s Second Chance” has been chosen to be part of the HSUS Humane Education Program of “From Nose To Tail” for 2020
