The Osborne Association is pleased to announce an upcoming segment of Reading Rainbow – the award winning children’s television program on Public Broadcasting System hosted by LeVar Burton – devoted to a book about a child who visits her father in prison. The program, developed by RCN Entertainment, features the book Visiting Day by Jacqueline Woodson, and depicts a prison visit by the Gooden Family, who participate in The Osborne Association's FamilyWorks program at Sing Sing Correctional Facility. The Gooden sons, Maleke and Malcolm, participate in Osborne's supportive services for children in Brooklyn, NY. (Maleke accompanied Osborne’s executive director to Sweden for the World’s Children’s Prize ceremony last spring.) The program debuted in New York on PBS-Channel 13 on December 15, 2004, at 2:30 p.m. If you missed the show, it will air again on January 17 and April 25, 2005. Local listings are available on www.readingrainbow.com. This initiative was made possible by the support and participation of The Osborne Association and the Gooden Family. Thanks also to the NYS Department of Correctional Services and Supt. Brian Fischer for their cooperation in filming at Sing Sing Correctional Facility. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
