Movie Review: Butterfly in the Sky


Butterfly in the Sky is a documentary about Reading Rainbow.
Was this something you watched as a kid?


My Thoughts: I watched this as a kid - the theme song gets stuck in my brain.
But I don't remember too much about it. 
So, I was excited to see this documentary, and it was everything I wanted it to be.
I did tear up a little at the end.

I had no idea that this program lasted for 26 seasons.

I loved how they used kids with created book reviews - and from all backgrounds.
They all shared a love of reading
And of course, there was some celebrity narrators who helped with the publicity for the show
I loved the passion behind the show - you could that everyone really believed in this project.
I loved seeing behind the scenes moments - like the bat cave (I wouldn't go in there either)
The fashion was fun to watch.

Also Loved that this featured Jason Reynolds. 

I have half a mind to go back and re-watch all the episodes.

Here the wonderful LeVar Burton
