Celebs Collaborated To Read Their Favorite Books To Kids Stuck Indoors, And My Heart Will Never Be The Same
We're all doing our part these days to stay indoors and keep calm, and while it's difficult for us grownups to stop working or to work from home, it can also be hard on our kids.
Schools around the world are shut down, and many kids are stuck at home with their families and not a whole lot to do. We all know how kids can get when they're bored—my gray hairs will never let me forget—so it's nice to see celebrities empathizing.
A bunch of celebs took to Instagram to read their favorite books to our kids—and yeah, I'm feeling mushy.
Jennifer Garner And Amy Adams Started #SaveWithStories
Save With Stories is the foundation behind the initiative, and it was started by Jennifer Garner and Amy Adams (in an iconic composite Instagram webcam video from inside their self-quarantines, no less). The goal of the account is to raise awareness and aid for the Save The Children and No Kid Hungry foundations that need our help to support kids in these trying times.
All You Have To Do Is Watch (And Donate)
My kid was stoked to watch Reese Witherspoon read Uni the Unicorn, and I definitely enjoyed the wonderful Mrs. Kasha Davis read Little Eddie P. Wants To Be A Star. But Save The Children and No Kid Hungry can't help children by relying on the power of viewership alone—you can help support them by donating through the link in the @savewithstories Instagram bio.
A TON Of Celebs Are On Board (They Got Ellen!!)
Here's our dancing queen in her signature Ivy Park sweats reading Home, by Ellen herself, with her wonderful Siamese cat who, like all of us, was very interested in the story.
Demi Lovato Took A Break From Going On Instagram Live With Miley To Read
If you haven't been tuning in to Miley Cyrus's series of Instagram lives that she's been doing with other celebs, then I implore you to do so. But, her most recent guest, Demi Lovato, also graced the profile of @savewithstores and read The Gruffalo.
You Can Do Your Part Too!!
Now that your kids are nice and sedated by the soothing sounds of a celebrity's voice from a broadcast from inside their mansions, you can also help out the cause. Stay indoors, practice social distancing, and consider donating to the organization to help a child in dire need.
