My Friend LeVar

A celebration of the children’s television program Reading Rainbow and its host, LeVar Burton, this picture book opens an opportunity to share a childhood memory and a love of literature with the next generation. Author Ezra Edmond recounts the many adventures Reading Rainbow took him on—eating flapjacks like Paul Bunyan, painting eggs, sewing a quilt—and a list at the back collects the referenced books and their respective episodes, offering adult reading helpers a way to continue the adventure.
