Amy Adams reads books to kids on Instagram

“Vice” actress Amy Adams made a point of joining Instagram until Monday. She created an account in the middle of coronavirus outbreak to help affected children.

In his post, Adams featured an Instagram and Facebook account called @savewithstories, where kids who can’t attend school in person can listen and watch celebrities read books. Actress Jennifer Garner also helped launch the initiative. More … than 2 million American students are not at school.

Amy Adams read a book written by her daughter

For her first book reading, which she read aloud on Instagram, Adams chose “The Dragon Princess,” written by her daughter and illustrated by her husband.

The money donated to the initiative will go towards food and education for children affected by the coronavirus

Initiated donations will go to associations save the children and No child is hungry, who provide food and educational materials to children all year round, and whose services will be even more needed in the midst of the pandemic. Later, the money raised from the effort will also go towards after-school and summer programs that help children who need extra support for lost time in class.

Garner and Adams also appeared in a video together in another Instagram video to help raise awareness of the effort.
