Former first lady is very much excited about this and said, “ As a little kid , I love to read aloud. And when I became a parent, I found such joy in sharing the magic of storytelling with my own children- and then later,as first lady with kids everywhere.” Further she said, “ So many families” being “so much stress”, I’m excited to give kids a chance to practice their reading and hear some wonderful stories and to give parents and caretakers a much needed rest.
