Published: 01/04/2017

— Free event is open to the public and will be held in Destiny USA’s Canyon Area; the first 500 children will receive a free Daniel Tiger Book while supplies last —

Syracuse, NYDestiny USA, WCNY and The Literacy Coalition of Onondaga County invite families and children of all ages to meet Daniel Tiger from the popular PBS Kids hit show “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,” at The World’s Biggest Daniel Tiger Bedtime Story Read-Along, on Wednesday, January 18 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. inside Destiny USA’s Canyon Area.

This fun, family friendly event kicks-off of the Literacy Coalition’s “Stories of the Seasons,” a new format of themed literacy events for families that align with each of the four seasons throughout the year. This event also marks the debut of WCNY’s New 24/7 WiCkNeY KIDS channel, featuring favorite PBS KIDS show content.

Guests will enjoy a story time led by actors from The Redhouse, cookies and milk, and greetings from Daniel Tiger. The first 500 children to attend the event will receive a “Goodnight Daniel Tiger” book and other free goodies. Pajamas are optional too!

“We may take the habit of reading books to our children for granted, but not every family has started this important tradition,” said Virginia Carmody, Executive Director of the Literacy Coalition of Onondaga County. “This type of event raises awareness about the importance of early literacy and helps to encourage families to read together every day, especially at bedtime.”

“WCNY offers outstanding educational programs like Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on our new 24/7 WiCkNeY KIDS channel that promote reading and math literacy,” said Debbie Stack, WCNY Director of Education and Community Engagement. “WCNY is delighted to be collaborate with the Literacy Coalition of Onondaga County to bring families together to read, learn, and of course, meet Daniel Tiger at Destiny USA on January 18.”
