PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault. In the story, a Native American boy and his grandfather reminisce about the boy's birth, his first horse and his first horse race, where he faces his greatest challenge -- his blindness. Also in the program, host LeVar Burton meets a news anchor in NYC who talks about overcoming a physical disability and faces a night alone in the wilderness where he overcomes doubt.
The Reading Rainbow programs are designed to encourage children to read by transporting them to exciting, real-life settings. The series introduces kids to interesting new people and places, explores social and cultural issues, and offers a close-up look at the world around them. Its dynamic, fast-paced, colorful animation and hip music entertain and reinforce these experiences, and help children embrace positive reading habits, skills and attitudes.
