My name is David Layman, avid reader and book adventurer. In addition, a father to four sons and one daughter. My wife and I have always read with our children, from birth on. We both feel that reading is fundamental to a child's development, both mentally and emotionally. In fact we feel so strongly about the importance of reading that we push reading above and beyond all other academics knowing that everything else will fall into place. Growing up I wasn't the best student from a "grading" and "testing" perspective however, I would read often. I fully believe it is due to my love of reading I am successful today. (Not dismissing the Good Lord's work in that.)

I created this channel with the hopes that I can introduce young readers to love books. Not everyone has a parent that can read to them and that can be due to a number of circumstances. It is our desire that our readings help fill part of that void in their lives.

Thanks for watching. Take care and God bless!
