The above links take you to videos featuring Pamela Beckford (aka Blossom the Butterfly) reading all three of my Clyde stories, and books from other writers. The shows can be seen on YouTube:

This is all part of efforts to encourage early childhood literacy by Pamela and the United Way of Wells County. Thank you, Pamela Beckford and United Way!
If you are an independent writer of children’s books, I recommend contacting Pamela regarding possibly having your creations featured in this wonderful program. I found Pamela a delight to work with and enthusiastically support her program.
With Love,

Russ Towne's A Grateful Man 
I wrote my dissertation on the importance of reading to young children to prepare their future linguistic competency, so this is brilliant. Thank you!
Cool! I agree, and have seen many benefits of reading to young children through my own children and my grandchildren. I believe in it so much that I volunteered as a reading tutor for several elementary school aged children. It seemed to boost their self-confidence as well as their reading and comprehension skills.
Russ
wonderful and great that you and your books are a part of this program )
Thank you, Beth. I’m grateful indeed that the books were selected to help achieve greater children’s literacy.

This is brilliant Russ, Great of Pamela to to it as a you tube, like that it can spread more and even reach children of parents who don’t read to them. I know that your stories are loved in my school!
Thank you, my friend! You are always a ray of sunshine to me even on the darkest days.
