There's something about a book that helps us to enter into someone else's experience. It might be a different life in our current day and age, but it also could be a different point in history, places that we really can't go necessarily in a physical way, but we can still enter into through stories. They don't just take us places, these books. They build our imagination and our identity as part of this community of people, all of the people in the world that

God made, right? Like, they make us a part of that larger community. Welcome to the Read Aloud Revival podcast.

This is the show that helps you make meaningful and lasting connections with your kids through books.

I'm your host, Sarah McKenzie.
