FOR THE GROWN-UPS WHO READ ALOUD

A story together.
Wherever you read.

A little voice, a well-placed pause, room for a child’s idea. Choose a few things to try at home or a ready-to-use plan for your group.

FOR PARENTS & CAREGIVERS

Reading at home

Easy character voices, playful pauses and a quieter bedtime version. Use a favorite book you already own; your ordinary voice is welcome, too.

FOR TEACHERS & LIBRARIANS

Reading to a group

Free creative lessons, book companions and a live author visit. C. J. reads his whole book, then children try voices and direct him in a free introductory 30-minute Zoom workshop.
