Boston Parent Blogers Celebrate National Mom’s Nite Out With Raising A Reader

Gretchen Kinder of Raise A Reader MA.

Boston Parent Bloggers celebrated National Mom’s Nite Out at an event hosted at the Barefoot Books Flagship Storein Concord to shine a light on a local charity, Raising a Reader MA.

Raising a Reader MA is an evidence-based early literacy program that helps families of young children develop, practice and maintain habits of reading together at home. A key component of their programming is the Red Bag Book Rotation Program where bright red bags are filled with quality children’s books and are rotated through families’ homes.

Event attendees listened to and engaged with former Globe Parenting columnist Barbara Meltz and were able to experience the Paint-Your-Own Pottery Studio located at (and courtesy of) Barefoot Books. In addition, guests enjoyed a delicious spread of food sponsored by Stop & Shop.

Special thanks also goes to other sponsors including Pop Chips, Wegman’s Wine Shop, and National Mom Night’s Out.
