Amid the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, many parents are struggling to keep their children’s sleep schedules on track. Luckily, those worried their bedtime stories lack pizzazz can now call in a star-studded lineup of reinforcements.

Celebrities including Chris and Liam Hemsworth, Ryan Reynolds, Meryl Streep, Benedict Cumberbatch, Lupita Nyong’o, Mindy Kaling, and Eddie Redmayne have joined forces for a virtual reading of Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach. Organized by Oscar-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi, the read-along will raise funds for Partners In Health (PIH), a nonprofit organization fighting COVID-19 in some of the most vulnerable countries around the world.

Partners In Health works on the front lines with some of the most vulnerable communities in the world, building health systems, protecting the vulnerable, and saving lives. Together, we can stop COVID-19, and ensure everyone, everywhere has access to the health care that is their human right. Each donation will be matched by the Roald Dahl Story Company, up to $1 million.
