    It's refreshing to see a face to the voice of the theme song of "Reading Rainbow". I adored this lady's voice as a child. It was warm, bright and beautiful. GOD bless you, Tina Fabrique.

      I was not yet a teenager when I first heard the "Reading Rainbow" theme song and when I first watched "Reading Rainbow" with my sisters and cousins during one of our summer vacations in Massachusetts.

      No matter how many times I hear the intro to this show,a wave of nostalgia hits me and takes me back to when I was child watching it during the early 90s. Ghostwriter, Wishbone, Shining Time Station, The Magic School Bus...man I miss those days.

I still read books to this day, as well as encourage others, especially children, to do the same. Thanks for sharing this interview. God bless you, Ms. Fabrique.

No one wants to read to gain understanding... Using discernment in all that we watch, read and listen too... May God bless her cause she was a part of many of our lives❤❤❤

My late mother was a wonderful woman, who inspired my imagination & creativity, & she always made sure I got to see Reading Rainbow, & would even watch it with me. It's nice to be able to put a face to the beautiful voice that played an important part in my childhood! Reading Rainbow was & still is so important, to those of us who, like me, grew up with it, & it desperately needs to be brought back for today's youths!! Thank you mom, Levar, & Tina!!! R.I.P. mom!
