For over 30 years, United Through Reading has been helping connect service members and their families through reading aloud, no matter the distance. With our new CEO, Tim Farrell, on board, we are excited to look to the future for how we can support our military families with even more opportunities to bond through reading.

Listen to Tim and Josie discuss Tim’s background as an Airman, what he’s learned in his post-active duty career working with military nonprofits, and how United Through Reading can offer military families even more opportunities to connect through reading.

Tim also shared many of his favorite children’s books, listed below.

• Goodnight Moon

• The Giving Tree

• The Very Hungry Caterpillar

• Good Night Scarlet Knights by Rutgers University
