First Folio Artistic Associates Diana Coates and Michael Goldberg will help you read your children to sleep. Each month, we will post two new bedtime tales chosen specifically with your little ones in mind. Diana Coates, whose work has been seen onstage throughout the country, will be reading selections from some of her own favorite bedtime stories. Michael Goldberg will pick up where he left off in December, reading tales of Uncle Wiggily, the Gentleman Rabbit created by Howard R. Garis early in the 20th century.
