An endlessly good thing

July 27, 2021

320 Sycamore Studios is a different kind of children’s book publisher. We share serialized stories via our weekly newsletter, host a read-aloud community, and offer free PDF versions of all the books we sell. Enjoy!
Heya <<First Name>>,

The more I explore the subject of reading aloud, the more I discover what an endlessly good thing it is.

Here’s a quote from “Inside Picture Books,” by Ellen Handler Spitz.
 

“To read, to sing, to mediate between a young child’s psychic world and the surrounding culture is to experience one of life’s great joys. In doing so, we introduce elements of what matters deeply to us to those who will live on after us, we participate in the transmission of culture from one generation to the next.”

(Emphasis mine.) 

Who knew we were doing such powerful work?!

I hope you’re doing great. As always, let me know if you’ve read aloud any good books lately — I’ll add them to our recommendations page
 

One other thing 

A handful of readers will be receiving an invitation to an online course from parenting expert (and friend of 320 Sycamore Studios) Melissa Benaroya.

Whether or not you sign up, we’ll be sharing lots of great information on raising readers, managing screen time, when to buy a smartphone, and more. 

Happy reading,

Jeff and Bob …
… who believe that reading with kids can change the world for the better

Does this state look familiar?

We’re continuing our series on the United States of Anagram with five new states (and lots of new cities) this week. Can you guess them?

By the way, we messed up one of the cities in the state below. (Click through to the blog post to see which one and find out the new name.)
