If it wasn’t hard enough being one of the only Black kids in town, his mom is starting to act really weird (and his baseball team lost their first game). If you always check under the bed before you go to sleep:īones Malone is the new kid in town. You can think of it as a mini-traveling book club!įor those of you hitting the open road this spring break or fast approaching summer break, try some of these great reads together! They’re also good for staycations, background noise while building LEGOs on rainy days (as is done in my house now), chapters before bed or whatever family audiobook needs you might have!īorrow and listen on the Libby app from your library. Having the whole family enjoy a book together not only made time move a bit quicker, but also gave us plenty to chat about when we were sharing meals or experiences the rest of the trip. From my early days of Sesame Street songs and stories to later when we’d listen to family-friendly stories that we’d all love for me, there’s still nothing better than a story to help with long hours spent on the road (for those of you who might not be from the Midwest, we don’t fly anywhere where we can drive in less than 24-hours or so). We always listened to books while driving. Rather, I think of cassette tapes, maybe CDs.
EASY LISTENING AUDIOBOOKS BLUETOOTH

Let me just start by saying this: I’m old.
