Reasons to Read-Aloud in May

May we offer you up some fun reasons to read? From Mother’s Day to Memorial Day, and everything in between. There are somber and snuggly soundscapes that fit the mood of your read-aloud. There are also culturally significant titles to honor and celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Month featuring AAPI voice actors, singers, and musicians. Plus, if you’re not up for breaking a sweat during Sports Month, we’ve got athletic reads, too.
