65 | Reading Changes Stories | A Conversation on Reading, Empathy and the Power of Stories with Chris & Sammy

Happy September! This month, Sammy and Chris are discussing all things books! How their love of reading began, why reading leaves a lasting impact, and how they have each seen it make a difference in the lives of the children they love and serve. 

In this episode, Sammy shares an article from Child Mind Institute, why it says we should all be reading to the children in our lives, and the many benefits story offers each of us. Hear how Chris has seen reading change behavior, connection, and conversation between children and teens, how Back2Back is engaging with literacy and education around the world, and what equity and access look like when it comes to books. You also get to hear all about Beth Guckenberger’s new book and why it’s so special.
