Mrs. Bush, when she was First Lady, teamed up with Philadelphia's Children's Literacy Initiative to launch a radio show with the goal of encouraging parents to read aloud to their children. Mrs. Bush's Story time was broadcast on ABC Radio Network and featured Mrs. Bush and well known celebrities reading some of the most popular Children's Books such as Corduroy, Arthur Meets the President and others. Celebrities including Oprah, Mel Gibson, Peter Jennings, and others also read stories as well. The Malvern School was given permission to relaunch Mrs. Bush's Story Time in all of their 20 private, preschools in Pa. And NJ. They created daylong Story Time event where the children listen to Mrs. Bush reading stories, then participate in activities focusing on the book read, as well as what a First Lady does, and what Mrs. Bush did when she lived in the White House.
