My Project
As a life-long patron of the arts, I value the contribution of arts-based education to the social and emotional development of young children. Combining the arts with children's literature is a journey I have been traveling my whole life. Now, I have found a beautiful way to combine my interests.
This project was created to purchase books for my Broadway Books First Class program, which invites Broadway performers into the classroom to read children's books and share stories about life in the theater.
The children's books read by the performers in my program serve as a bridge between home and school. I have witnessed an increase in motivation to read when children bring home an autographed copy of the book to enjoy again and again. Thank you to all of you for supporting this project.
