Visiting Day

Product Description

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.

A young girl and her grandmother make the long bus trip every month to visit the girl’s father in prison.

Some children don’t get to live with their parents. In this episode LeVar introduces a family separated by a prison sentence. We join the family for visiting day and find out what life is like for kids when a parent is incarcerated, and what it’s like for a parent who can’t be at home with family.
