The Book League Rules
Seven rules that guide every single decision on this channel — from the books we choose, to how the videos are edited, to who gets the credit. Everything else flows from these.
01
The Most Important Rule
"I want these kids to read way more than I want views."
Everything else flows from this.
02
It's Not About Me
"My job is to honor what they made. The story always comes first."
The author wrote it. The illustrator drew it. Everything else is secondary.
03
Curated Books Only
"Every book on this channel earned its spot. No cheap bait. No filler. No AI slop."
Quality over clicks. Every time.
04
The Edit Serves the Book
"If you can't read along, the edit failed."
Flashy doesn't beat faithful.
05
Music With Intention
"Music goes in when it moves the story forward. No formula. Just intention."
The music serves the story, not the other way around.
06
Without Them, None of This Exists
"The authors, illustrators, and publishers are the real stars. The parents, teachers, caregivers, and kids are who I do this for. I'm just the guy reading the book."
Go buy their books.
07
Obsessed With the Details
"There are a thousand read alouds out there. I want mine to be different."
Good enough isn't good enough.
