Two seconds into the bubbling synth sounds of its theme song will have a child of the 1980s or ‘90s exclaiming “Reading Rainbow!” Such is the beloved and ubiquitous nature of the classic children’s literary television show that introduced millions of kids to the wonder and importance of books. Not only did the series insist on having kids speak to kids about their favorite stories, but Reading Rainbow introduced the world to one of the most adored television hosts of all time in LeVar Burton. Thanks to his direct, non-patronizing and, most importantly, kind delivery, Burton became a conduit to learning for children of every background—an entrancing guide to subjects unknown.

This was an absolute delight and I had a smile on my face pretty much the entire time I watched it. I loved watching Reading Rainbow as a kid and one of the reasons why I started watching Star Trek TNG (I think in 1990) was because LeVar Burton, the host of Reading Rainbow, was on the show. Hearing the stories of how the show was made with so much love and passion and its impact on children was really cool (that bat cave story was wild). It was also a nice reminder of how awesome LeVar Burton is and why we still really need Reading Rainbow now probably more than we ever have before.
