PARKER, Colo., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Adventures of Jack the Dog is going live for World Kindness Day. Author Colleen Yanez will host a free, interactive read-aloud on November 13 that will be broadcast on YouTube live for classrooms and families across time zones, complete with a downloadable teacher guide and giveaways.
