    What Levar and Reading Rainbow did for our children was Godsend. He’s a. National Treasure and should receive more accolades for his contributions to society

    If you grew up on Reading Rainbow and wish there was a version for adults, check out LeVar Burton Reads! It's an absolutely fantastic podcast where each week he reads a piece of short fiction. I've been exposed to so many wonderful stories because of it, and if course LeVar is an incredible narrator--but you don't have to take my word for it. 😉

    In the 80s Levar was often the only adult at home when we kids were home alone. Thank you Levar for teaching us and making us feel safe

    Between Levar Burton, Fred Rogers, Bob Ross (plus Sesame Street and 3-2-1 Contact), my childhood became somewhat bearable. For a little while each day.

    Aside from my own parents, Levar was the first person to really excite me about reading. All these years later the excitement hasn't worn off.

    Reading Rainbow was great. I'm lucky to have grown up at a time when it was still on TV. LeVar was the perfect host for that show. Seeing kids my age reviewing books was one of my favourite segments. 💎

    I'm looking forward to seeing this! Levar made Reading Rainbow so iconic. It feels weird that we're no longer in this same space where books are concerned (for some people), but for many of us this show change our lives for the better. Thank you, Levar and thank you PBS! ❤
