I had the good fortune to see Levar Burton receive award for children's media at my university. At the end of the ceremony, he brought two dozen children from an associated preschool up on stage and read them a story (I think it was called "Enemy Pie".)
I can say without exaggeration that it was the best public reading of anything I've seen in my life. Watching children so deeply engage with an icon that they probably don't even recognize was a wonder.
