Desperately trying to plan out some indoor activities to keep your little ones entertained for the next few weeks?
We got another one to add to the timetable: Storytime with Michelle Obama.
That’s right. According to CNN, she announced that she is teaming up with PBS Kids and Penguin Random House to host a weekly read-aloud series.
I’m thrilled to share some of my favorite children’s books and give kids an opportunity to practice their reading (while giving families a much-needed break!).
Join me, @PBSKIDS, and @penguinrandom for read-alongs on Mondays at 12pm ET on @PBSKIDS Facebook and YouTube! https://t.co/839isAWKSt

“As a little kid, I loved to read aloud. And when I became a parent, I found such joy in sharing the magic of storytelling with my own children — and then later, as First Lady, with kids everywhere,” Obama said in a statement.
