Reading With Role Models - NASA Astronaut Reads to Kids During Home Quarantine

As parents we’re all busy trying to entertain our kids at home during these unprecedented times. It’s not easy! Luckily there are some very thoughtful companies out there giving us a hand by providing top-notch content that is not only sure to entertain our kids but also provide them unique learning opportunities. Most specifically, FREE virtual events like read alouds get me particularly excited. And especially when opportunities like these feature interesting and inspirational personalities that I know will draw my own kids in. Like for example listening as a NASA Astronaut reads a book to kids!

It’s no secret that my family is into all things space! So when I heard that today, Thursday, April 30, NASA Astronaut LtCol Nicole A. Mann will read Most Marshmallows for “Reading with Role Models,” a virtual Story Time featuring everyday heroes, I knew I not only had to tune in with my own kids, but also needed to share it with all of you! Presented by Hullabaloo Book Co + Chronicle Books, this is a truly exciting and rare event.
