Hey, hey!
Do y’all remember that survey we put out a while ago, asking for your feedback on Aidyn’s Books—right before we became Reading To Connect? That survey sparked so many revelations and changes. It led me to sit down with Aidyn and really listen—intentionally.
I wanted to know where he saw himself in Aidyn’s Books—in the group, on our show, and beyond. And he made it clear: he LOVED what we built—but he didn’t feel like he was meant to be front and center anymore. It wasn’t fully him because he has soooo many other passions.
And he was right.
He still loves reading. He still values the power of stories. He still knows that when he reads—and when we read together—it inspires others to do the same. But… he also wanted space to grow.
So, I made space. 💕
✨ Introducing: Aidyn’s Creative Nation ✨
Aidyn has a deep love for animation. He creates his own animations, draws, and brings characters and stories to life. He’s fully immersed in anime, still a reader, and yes—I still read to him. And he still reads independently for pleasure.
So, just know… Aidyn is still here. But now, he’s also here: stepping into his own creative journey.
And today, on his 11th birthday, he’s launching his own show. 🎙️🥹
Watch his intro episode here:
This is just the beginning, and we would love your support—whether that’s a like, a comment, or even just sending good vibes his way!
