His mama picked it up. On it was written: Ask me for the magic link! Mateo’s mama looked at the librarian. The kind librarian smiled. "Yes," she said. "We have free digital books for little ones. Rhyming stories, animal sounds, and big, bright pictures. You can read them on your phone or tablet. Right now. At home. In the car. Anywhere."
