What a great idea! A Minnesota-based service called Storyline offers free story readings over the phone. Just call the phone number, and you can hear a recording of a local actor reading a new story each week. Their website lists each month's themes and the stories read, and also offers more book suggestions for each theme. Grandfather's Story Cloth is on the Grandparents list. There are a lot of multicultural books on the lists, even though it's not an overtly multicultural service.
I just called the number, and this week's story is Baseball Saved Us by Ken Mochisuki and illustrated by Dom Lee (published by Lee & Low Books), a story about a Japanese-American boy in an internment camp and his love of baseball.
Storyline: 952-352-1350
Free service, but long-distance rates apply.
