Art in the waiting room while you wait for your child's check-up? Yes, please! Not only are these murals beautiful, but they are educational and interactive. @ROR_GP phillyvoice.com/chop-picture…

Representation for ‘rainbow families’ is a controversial topic in children’s literature. Part 2 of our series on LGBTQ+ children’s books, discusses the importance of this genre & continuing to speak the truths for children’s books. #Pride2021 apple.co/3lyucBX

📖 Storytelling can ease feelings of stress for both adults & children and it can help families cope with adversity. We discuss the impacts of reading aloud together, the importance of early literacy & how @ROR_GP is bringing books into the exam room. policylab.chop.edu/blog/powe…

William wants a doll – can he have one? “William’s Doll,” published in 1972, broke down gender stereotypes in children’s literature. Guest host @perriklass speaks to Crescent Dragonwagon (author's daughter) about the continued impact of this book. #pride apple.co/3lyucBX

DYK, if you read just 1 book a day to your child, they will have heard 1,000 stories by the time they are 3 years old? This exposure to language puts them on a path to learning success, and they will have spent special time every day of their life with someone that loves them. ❤️

At well-child visits from birth to 5 years, the healthcare provider shares a new, developmentally, and culturally appropriate book with the child and talks with the family about reading. When the visit is over, the family leaves with the book and a prescription for reading.

We love getting fan mail from our Reach Out and Read families! This dad of two is a pro at reading to both of his children and just look at how much the baby is interacting with the story and his family. #Love #readtogether #makingmomentsmatter
