Rebecca Reads is a children's storytime series devoted to helping children learn about the world through books. As a nanny, Rebecca realized that the majority of children's books feature a male character, even when the characters are animals. This series is specifically geared toward presenting children with a diverse group of female characters with the goal of empowering young girls, promoting creativity and imagination. As an actor with extensive babysitting experience, Rebecca brings her excitement and silliness to each video, ending with a goodbye song and demonstrating that reading can be fun. A great free resource for nannies, guardians, and parents.
