First Book Podcast with Sonia Manzano

May 17th, 2006 by Jordan P. · 2 Comments

Sonia ManzanoToday we hosted a blog call with Sonia Manzano, “Maria” from Sesame Street, and recent author of “No Dogs Allowed.” Sonia discussed the importance of reading, how she developed a love for books and ways to engage children in reading.

The Public Service Announcements (PSAs) Sonia mentioned during the call are available on our website. Sonia worked with First Book and Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories to develop these PSAs on the importance of reading. The PSAs, which are available in English and Spanish, come in 15 second and 30 second versions.

Thanks to those of you that were able to join the call. The podcast of the call is now available by clicking the play button below!
