Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My dd loves animals and is planning to do a lot of zoology study next year (8th grade). She is less enamored of reading and so I'm hoping to tie her interest in animals in with her literature study.

Please suggest your favorites! (Short stories and poetry, too.)

No dead dogs, please...
