✨Sprinkling a little of #mikesmagic on your Thursday✨ 🫶🏾Some of the best compliments I’ve received about #mikethefriendlyfirefighter #thewildcarfire is that children have either read the book more than once or have requested it be read to them daily ☺️. 📚 Ya’ll know I love a good stat: According to a survey by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, in 2020, 9 & 13 year olds who loved to read for fun almost daily are at the lowest percentage of about 42% since the 1980s. That’s technically the age group (6-9) for the book although as you can see (hear in this clip) children of all ages are enjoying the book. I think #firefightermike is doing something right‼️ 👨🏾‍🚒 #authorsofinstagram #bookstagram #childrensbooks #blackchildrensbooks #blacksuperheroes #firefighter #storytime #storyteller #mikefreeland #mikemyheartforever #donaldwilson
