Books can become like family or friends when theyre always around and we share them together. The guests on this show (including award-winning novelist Joseph Finder) use books to relate to real-life events, play games, have one-on-one time, and explore family heritageall the while building stronger relationships.

Included are an original half-hour show, and bonus material that features experts, parents, and children modeling enjoyable, simple family literacy practices.
