What a breath of fresh air Luke is! His willingness to be open and his non-toxic masculinity is exactly what we need right now. The correlation between mental health and reading really hits home for me, thank you to all involved!

I agree there is a person who encourages the delight of reading, for me it was my grandmother and like you it started with storytelling. Learning before those magical scribbles on a page were turned into sense. My grandmother would tell me stories, in a huge bed. Wonderful words of other worlds woven into stories. Imagination was important and encouraged. I was told that I was overly imaginative and a knowing child by her, which made me feel magical in its self. I really loved this episode.
