Summer is almost here, bringing longer days and a little more time to slow down and enjoy the simple things☀️📖

It’s the perfect season to pick up a book, settle into a quiet moment, and let yourself get lost in a good story. Wherever summer takes you, make room for a few great reads along the way.

Bookstock continued to spread the joy of reading with the students in Ms. Comer’s 4th grade class at Carstens Elementary!📚✨

As winners of a drawing held during Bookstock’s B.E.S.T. Awards, the students enjoyed a special visit from Local 4 anchor Jason Colthorp, who shared a reading of “The Day the Crayons Quit.”

A heartfelt thank you to our friends at WDIV Local 4 / ClickOnDetroit for helping make this experience so memorable and for making these 4th graders—and all of our 2026 B.E.S.T. Award recipients—feel so celebrated and appreciated💙

Tuesday morning, Jason Colthorp read to students at "Carstens Elementary/Middle School" in Detroit. They read "The Day the crayons quit." The school was chosen in a drawing after at least five fourth-graders submitted essays for Bookstock under the theme: “My favorite book character and why.”

Fun Fact: Children who have books at home are more likely to succeed in school and become strong, confident readers. Even more, reading for fun can support their mental health and emotional well-being.

A child’s world grows bigger with every book they open. Stories do more than entertain. They spark imagination, encourage curiosity, and help kids explore new ideas and perspectives. Whether it’s an adventure, a mystery, or something entirely new, every page brings an opportunity to learn and grow.

Let’s inspire a love of reading and remind kids that their next great adventure is just a page away✨

🐾📚 It’s National Pet Month!

From loyal dogs to curious cats, pets bring so much love, comfort, and joy into our lives—and they even make the perfect reading companions.

Did you know that reading aloud to pets can actually help improve confidence and reduce stress? Many programs pair children with therapy animals because pets create a calm, judgment-free space to practice reading. Cats and dogs may not follow every word, but they’re always the best listeners.

Pets also play an important role in our well-being—studies show they can help lower anxiety, boost mood, and even encourage routines like daily reading time or quiet moments with a good book.

So this month, grab a book, cozy up with your furry friend, and enjoy the simple joy of stories—together🩷
