Join us for a powerful, free 10-day learning series led by Dr. John S. Hutton, nationally recognized pediatrician, researcher, author, and literacy advocate. This concise, engaging series is designed for individuals who want practical, science-backed insights into early brain development, literacy, and the impact of digital media on young children.
Dr. Hutton is a pediatrician and researcher at UT Southwestern and Children’s Health (Dallas, TX) and former Director of the Reading and Literacy Discovery Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. He is also the founder of blue manatee press and the Blue Manatee Literacy Project, and spent nearly 20 years owning the beloved Blue Manatee Children’s Bookstore. Known globally as “Dr. John,” he is the first researcher to document links between the home reading environment, screen-based media, and brain structure and function prior to kindergarten using MRI. His work has reshaped how families, clinicians, and educators think about early literacy, language development, and human connection. His children’s health-literacy book series—including Baby Unplugged and Love Baby Healthy—has reached millions of families worldwide and outperformed standard guidance in clinical trials.
Throughout this series, Dr. Hutton shares accessible research, real-world applications, and inspiring insights focused on building strong brains, healthy habits, and meaningful family connections—across all backgrounds.
Open to individuals across the U.S. and beyond. Free to attend. Registration required for each session. Note that they are various Mondays, and mark your calendar appropriately. The Zoom link will show every Monday due to their formatting, however, it will be as noted above, and in the confirmation email.
This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from a global leader at the intersection of pediatric health, literacy, and early brain development—in just 30-60 minutes a week. Each session will include a question & answer period.
