**Pattes & Crayons is a zootherapy and educational support company.**

Specializing in working with young people, Margaux Willame and her canine partners give a helping paw to young humans. The benefits are well-established—learning to read is greatly facilitated by the presence of an animal. During the zoo-reading sessions held in your library, the children will enjoy a fun and soothing experience. Their reading skills will be enhanced by the presence of a zootherapy animal partner. The children will also have the chance to develop their knowledge of canine language to promote healthy interactions with the dog present.
