Mondays With Michelle will kick off on 20 April until 11 May 2020 and will see Michelle read some of her favourite children’s picture books.
In a statement, Michelle shared that her love for reading started when she was a child. She said in part; “As a little kid, I loved to read aloud. And when I became a parent, I found such joy in sharing the magic of storytelling with my own children—and then later, as first lady, with kids everywhere,” she said. “At this time when so many families are under so much stress, I’m excited to give kids a chance to practice their reading and hear some wonderful stories (and to give parents and caretakers a much-needed break).”
