I just want to thank you for LeVar Burton Reads and Reading Rainbow. Reading Rainbow made me a reader and LBR never fails to reconnect me with that first brush with magic.
I'm certain you hear this all the time, but I've never understood how you managed to see much of anything through that thing. (an answer is not required, I'm also certain that you've spoken of it before)
Dear Mr. Burton, You helped me win a lot of money and gifts when I was 34 years old on a TV Game show!!! It changed my life! I’m 74 now and still a huge fan!!🥰
I love that you're here! You were the voice of calm on Reading Rainbow during my tumultuous childhood, and now we are all in this crazy place together now. Thank you for always being a beacon of light.
"Reading Rainbow!
Butterfly in the sky
I can go twice as high
Take a look, it's in a book,
A Reading Rainbow!
I can go anywhere
Friends to know, and ways to grow
A Reading Rainbow!
I can be anything
Take a look, it's in a book
A Reading Rainbow
Reading Rainbow!"
I saw you in a movie yesterday. The Midnight Hour, on Youtube...you were trying to get it on with Shari Belafonte but, she turned you into a vampire. I don't think I'd seen that since it was on television. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCU_vEuZH3g
My students are reading Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank (5th grade); I Am Malala (6th grade); The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (7th grade); and Crito by Plato (8th grade). Literacy and critical thinking for the win!

Reaching for the stars, LeVar. I raised my daughter with you as a TV mentor. She is now a beautiful 36 yr old beauty, writer, and loves you to this day, as do I!
Happy Wednesday. Thank you for being the black role model I needed to have. Whether it was Reading Rainbow or TNG. I feel like my worldview as an american of european descent would have been very twisted without your presence, representation, storytelling ability and kindness.
Happy, Happy Wednesday, LeVar! So many memories of my kids watching you many moons ago. “Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high. Take a look, it’s in a book, a reading rainbow.”
You were my ally in encouraging them to read. And they continue to have that love of books, so thank you dear man!
Good morning, LaVar! I loved you as Kunta Kinte and I loved you on Reading Rainbow ... but my favorite of your roles is Geordie, so thanks for that particular gif today! 🖖
You have made my life happier and brighter since I was 4 years old. I'm 42 years old now. Thank you for making me feel that no matter our differing abilities, we can all fly like a butterfly in the sky with our imaginations.
