The SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s award-winning children’s literacy program, Storyline Online®, is thrilled to share its latest release, Too Much Glue read by actor and comedian Nicole Byer, is a sticky hit with kids and the views are spreading fast with over 157,000 views in one week. Known as the Emmy-nominated television host of Nailed It!, for her role on the fan-favorite sitcom Grand Crew, for her voice work in Transformers: EarthSpark, and as a podcaster with two popular shows, Byer brings her signature humor and energy to this amusing children’s story.
“I’ve always loved making kids laugh, and Too Much Glue is such a fun and engaging story,” said Nicole Byer. “I’m honored to bring Matty’s messy adventure to life and to be part of a program that makes reading so accessible and enjoyable for children all over the world.”
Written by Jason Lefebvre, illustrated by Zac Retz, and published by Flashlight Press, the award-winning Too Much Glue tells the whimsical story of Matty, a boy who discovers the sticky joys of glue while learning important lessons about creativity and resourcefulness.
“Nicole Byer’s humorous narration of Too Much Glue is captivating young audiences, and we’re hearing from teachers that it’s generating enthusiasm in classrooms all over the country,” said Courtney B. Vance, President of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. “We are grateful to include Nicole among our cast of extremely dedicated and talented storytellers, and to Elmer’s for supporting our literacy program in such a significant way.”
