A Bedtime Story

If you were fortunate enough to read a bedtime story with a parent or loved one, remember how special and safe you felt as a child? What if you had the opportunity to give that experience to a needy child in foster care, homeless shelters, or whose parents are incarcerated? Well, how great is this? You can! 

​I want to introduce you to the Pajama Reading Program, a national initiative that provides children in need with the opportunity to spend an hour reading a book with a caring adult at the program center. After reading and a snack, each child is given a new pair of pajamas and a book of his choice to take home from the program's bookshelf. AND, transportation is provided to and from the center! Isn't that lovely?

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Duona Hunter, Reading Center Program Manager for Atlanta.  She was delighted to receive my donation of 50 copies of My Dog, Me, and it was my pleasure to bring them to the center. These books will be distributed to other centers in Georgia so that young readers may enjoy the adventures of Tyler and Dundee as they experience life in the body of another species. 

For more information about how you can help, please contact the Pajama Reading Program.

I’ve never heard of this program, but it sounds fantastic! I’ll be telling my friends about it for sure.

Love this idea especially since you can reach out to children who need someone who cares! Great idea!

Such a heartwarming idea! Haven’t heard of this program, and think others would be interested too. Fox 5 News does a morning segment, on local programs/places of interest with Paul Milikin. You might want to check into a visit from him to help spread the word!

What a wonderful way to volunteer. You are so kind to donate some of your books to this wonderful effort. Makes me want to check for this program locally. I loved reading to my own children and remember those special times of my parents reading to me.

What a clever idea for a children’s book! I can understand how a child would be very curious and involved with this story! Keep writing!!

"If you love someone let them read"...

What a thoughtful statement. For all ages! We inspire the younger children by reading to them and giving them our undivided attention bringing a book to life. Those are special magical moments in any children's life and I love the program. What a wonderful program for our youth. And perhaps equally what a wonderful program for the adults who are fortunate enough to interact and bring joy to the children.
