“I realized that we as a society have lost some of this innate affinity for storytelling. That it’s not as natural in the digital age for families to gather around to listen to stories as it was maybe 100 or 50 years ago. It’s something that’s not happening in so many families And yet there are so many reasons to support it and encourage it.” – Mary J. Cronin
