“A good book is like a secret door, a long-haired children’s author once told a TED talk crowd (Mac, it was Mac Barnett), and famous authors, illustrators, celebrities, and educators are providing a (virtual) escape from our apartments and homes during the weeks-long shut-in with live and/or online readings and storytelling sessions. Many of Romper’s favorite authors and illustrators, from Josh Gad and Mac Barnett to Oge Mora, Annie Barrows, Eva Chen, Sophie Blackall, Rowboat Watkins, and Jan Brett have taken to the internet to perform, or picked up the torch of what we’re calling “Operation Storytime,” reading their stories online for your (kids’) enjoyment. It’s basically like Yo-Yo Ma decided to give a backyard concert over the fence.” (more)
