The sound of New Wave pop music and the early days of MTV were defined by the work of a handful of iconic musicians, and few stood taller in that era than Ric Ocasek, frontman and primary songwriter for The Cars. The band charted 13 Top 40 singles in the U.S. from 1978 to 1987 and the music video for their 1984 song "You Might Think" won the first-ever MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year for its groundbreaking use of computer graphics. The band's biggest hit, "Drive," was a Top 10 hit across the globe and closely associated with the legendary Live Aid event. Ocasek wrote or co-wrote all the band's music, and later lent his extraordinary talent as a producer to bands like Weezer, No Doubt, Guided by Voices, and Bad Brains. In 2018, The Cars were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which marked the final live performance of the group before Ocasek's death the following year. Moving in Stereo: The Life of Ric Ocasek, the Driving Force of The Cars serves as an in-depth guide to Ocasek's life and catalog as a musician and uphold him as one of the most essential voices in pop music during the MTV era.

But perhaps more important than anything else, Reading Rainbow helped generations of children cultivate a love for books.The brainchild of co-author Tony Buttino, Reading Rainbow is very much a story of humble beginnings and enormous perseverance.
