"It creates an experience for kids that they can be tied to emotionally forever," said Cynthia Emerson, principal at Vero Beach Elementary School. "By making this experience for them they are always going to have this positive emotional response to reading and it's giving them the actual tools that they can use at their houses to build on a foundation of literacy."
