Burton continues to help inspire children to love reading and recently signed an endorsement deal with Tonies for his own Tonibox reading robot doll. The LeVar Burton Tonibox sells for $15 and can be purchased at www. us.tonies.com.
“Helping our children develop a love of storytelling has been an important part of my life, and it’s a big reason why I’ve partnered with @tonies.us. The Toniebox is an intuitive and simple technology for children to use, yet one that is amazingly effective in opening up a world of imagination. Together we’ve created my very own special Tonie figure, featuring my book, “The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm,” Burton posted on Instagram.
He also has a podcast which is available on streaming platforms called “LeVar Burton Reads” where he narrates fiction books to his audience.
