Sunday reading
Kids staying connected through a world of fiction
No reason to, but the last week or so I drifted back to the Covid pandemic—the circumstances, the loss, the anger, the feeling of hopelessness. And that North Face jacket!
A bright spot that resurfaced was a story I followed at the time — Save With Stories — a community-driven fundraiser on Instagram. Authors and others reading books for children on camera, raising money for @savethechildren and @nokidhungry and helping kids stay connected at a difficult time, through a world of fiction. A timely reminder that not being able to play golf paled into insignificance.
At the time, I read a book with someone I cared about, still do; we were 12,000 miles apart—A Gentleman in Moscow (Amor Towles). It was a unique experience that remains with me now.
Story time can still be alive if you want it to be.
