Many years ago, my mother read from the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me. I
remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother s voice
changed my world.
Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey s
language—a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and her
own baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother, all came together. And it happened
many times after that, over and over. The read-aloud made me a reader.
Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far,
had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of
the read-aloud, he had an idea that started something big.
What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let s
have a holiday for the read-aloud. ” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots
movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy s wish for everyone to be able to have
a read-aloud every day.
Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide
event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world.
This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day.
Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child
deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds
simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing
them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge.
