This heartwarming story reminds us of the importance of connection—coming together to rediscover the gift of time shared together. We invite families to embrace our Go Screen-Free challenge for Family Literacy Day on January 27, 2025! Click on the photo to access our free activity plan. Let’s take the opportunity to reconnect with one another whether through shared meals or storytime. 🫂🫶
