New York Times #1 best-selling children’s book author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds returns to the Boch Center Shubert Theatre on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, for a live, on-stage interactive reading of his storybook, Say Something!, at 10:00AM ET to celebrate World Read Aloud Day. Virtual live-stream registration for the event is available here.

World Read Aloud Day is a day that celebrates the power of reading aloud to create community, amplify new stories and advocate for literacy as a foundational human right.

World Read Aloud Day is a global movement of millions of readers, writers, and listeners from communities across the world coming together to honor the joy and power of reading and sharing stories and expand the definition and scope of global literacy.

The Boch Center Education team will lead a workshop following the reading for students attending both in-person as well as those watching virtually. Students will be guided through activities related to the Say Something! book, which deals strongly with personal empowerment, speaking up, and using our voices to inspire positive change in the world.

The storybook, published in 2019 was deemed a “motivational must-have for every collection,” by the School Library Journal.

The live audience at the Shubert Theatre will include over 1,300 students from Boston and Chelsea Public Schools. The audience viewing virtually includes students from 14 different countries, as well as students from Puerto Rico and 44 U.S. States.

The event has been previously streamed by hundreds of schools across countries such as Australia, Germany, India, Canada, Israel, Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, and South Africa.

Virtual live-stream registration for the event is available here.

To date, there are over 1,000 classrooms and schools registered for the live stream from coast to coast and 16 countries worldwide including Australia, Argentina, China, Croatia, India, Japan, Romania, Sierra Leone, United Arab Emirates, among others with the estimated virtual audience at 20,000 students.
