Former first lady Michelle Obama will be entertaining your children one day a week.

It's called "Mondays with Michelle," and it's a virtual read-along.

The story time is being held in conjunction with Penguin Young Readers, Random House Children’s Books and PBS Kids, and will run for four weeks on Mondays at 12 p.m. ET.

Her first book was "The Gruffalo," and will be followed by "There's a Dragon in Your Book," "Miss Maple's Seeds" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," according to PBS Kids.

She even had some help in announcing the reading time. Former President Barack Obama said that her reading to kids is making him “a little nostalgic.”

There are also activities that go along with the books she and others are reading through the Read Together Be Together initiative as well on PBS.
