Did you hear that Dolly Parton is reading bedtime books from her Imagination Library? As if we needed a reason to love her even more, now we can tune in via YouTube, to hear her read some of her favorite children’s stories. She’s done some incredible work with her Imagination Library, distributing millions of books to kids ages birth to 5, all around the world.
Oliver Jeffers has been reading one book a day since we started social distancing and quarantine. You can find all the past readings on his website here, and find out the schedule for future readings as well. We are HUGE fans of his books and its always fun to hear the author read their own books.
Mac Barnett is another one of our favorite authors and he is currently reading one chapter a day from his comic book autobiography. Its very entertaining and his black lab makes some funny cameos too. I think you can only find these on instagram right now but hopefully they will end up on his website as well. https://www.instagram.com/macbarnett/?hl=en
I have to put in a little plug for my storytime art series I’m working on right now too. I am reading a favorite book and then linking to some fun and creative projects that are extensions of themes found in the book. You can find all the details here.
