The First Partner’s Summer Virtual Storytime^*

Storytime is a fun family activity for preschool-age kids (3-5 years), but all are welcome to join! A book reading by the First Partner or a special guest will go live every Monday on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s YouTube Channel, starting on June 7. The storytime books touch on three themes: 

• June: Radical self-love and community 
• July: Resilience and strength 
• August: Mindfulness
