KidLit TV Launches KidLit At Home, a new, free, online homeschooling resource brings together the best video content from around the web created for kids by diverse children's book authors and illustrators. In response to widespread school and library closures, KidLit TV today announced KidLit At Home, a free online learning resource created to support parents and educators during a time of increased need for learning enrichment, entertainment, and comfort.
KidLit At Home is styled as a "Netflix for Kid Lit." It offers a new way for parents, educators, and young readers to access the myriad online storytime, drawing and writing tutorials, STEM and STEAM video content being offered across the web by the biggest names in children's literature, all curated in one easy to use, convenient online location.
Superstar children’s book author Mac Barnett and author/illustrator Christian Robinson will kick off the launch of KidLit At Home on June 8 at 8:00 am ET. Mac will read his picture book PAOLO, EMPEROR OF ROME in the first episode of Read Out Loud At Home.
"KidLit TV has lead the children's publishing industry to create fun, informative videos and podcasts that celebrate kid-lit authors and illustrators. As parents keep up their child's learning at home, we have created new resources that champion diversity and embrace technology as driving forces in kid lit's new era", says Julie Gribble, author and founder of KidLit TV.
