Your favorite monthly virtual program is back…
Oh yes, it’s Read And Write Night!
Kalamazoo County youth in grades K–5 are invited to join RAWK staff and volunteers to share our monthly picture book title. Working in small groups, we will read aloud and then respond to the story with using engaging and creative prompts that encourage us to discuss, write, and draw! After small group time, we’ll have a chance to share our responses with the whole group.
Hear a perspective that is new to you, enjoy reading together, express your ideas, and find power in the written word.
All Read and Write Nights will take place via Google Meet.
Each participating family will receive a copy of our monthly book prior to the event
This month’s session is open to 16 families
Registration opens on December 17th

Our January title is Friends Are Friends Forever
written by Dane Liu and illustrated by Lynn Scurfield
Just before Chinese New Year, Dandan discovers that her family is moving to the US, far away from her best friend Yueyue. Yueyue gives her a stack of red paper and a spool of string so she can share the art of paper cutting. When Chinese New Year comes around again Dandan remembers Yueyue’s gift and introduces her new friend Christina to this ancient art.
