There is nothing better than sharing a great read aloud with a young reader. And what better day to do it than World Read Aloud Day on February 2nd! To help celebrate, we have two special read alouds for you to share—and activities for each book to boot!

First up we have a great read aloud video of I AM SMART, I AM BLESSED, I CAN DO ANYTHING by Alyssa Holder, Zulekha Holder-Young; illustrated by Nneka Myers. A powerful picture book based on a viral video comes the story of one boy’s positive energy and how a sunny outlook can turn everything around.
