Yesterday was Batman Day at Barnes & Noble Desert Ridge! Kids Need to Read participated in the festivities as part of the bookfair being conducted at the store and online. I was honored to present Batman Storytime; my favorite moment was having the kids imitate The Penguin. Too cute! Kids received Caped Crusader masks and many other goodies, including Kids Need to Read buttons, Batman buttons, and coloring pages!

Tis the Season

Once Upon a Time… It was a dark and stormy night… This is the tale that was told to me…: Throughout history, winter has been a season rich in the tradition of storytelling, serving as a captivating blend of entertainment and education for individuals of all ages. This enduring legacy is exemplified in Beowulf, one of the oldest recorded stories, where the narrative opens with a compelling command, “Listen! we have heard of the might of the kings,”. No matter the opening line, the timeless power and importance of story and literacy is in its ability to connect generations and communities through the ages.
