Reading Rainbow Is Making a Comeback — And The New Host is Someone You Might Recognize

From the article:

"For an entire generation of children, we remember how every episode of Reading Rainbow began. It’s etched into our memories. LeVar Burton spoke to us the way few grown-ups did, like we were someone worth talking to. We can still hum the theme song without thinking twice. For a lot of us, that show is the reason we grew up loving to read.

Some of us are parents now, raising children of our own in a faster, more difficult world. Reading Rainbow offers something different from most television shows today: it’s a slower kind of attention and a quieter kind of fun… Levar Burton taught us to imagine. He made us feel like the stories were real. The new version, by all accounts, will do the same."
