Canisius University Professor Barbara Irwin, PhD, is the co-author of the newly-released book Creating Reading Rainbow: The Untold Story of a Beloved Children’s Series. “Reading Rainbow” remains one of the most successful PBS children’s series in television history. It helped generations of children cultivate a love for books and earned numerous national and international awards for doing so, including 26 Emmys and a Peabody Award.
Creating Reading Rainbow chronicles the Buffalo origins of the groundbreaking television series, and how a local public television station (WNED-TV) spearheaded an educational movement that sparked a passion for reading in millions of children. The book explores the many intriguing and homespun stories that, when woven together, reveal how “Reading Rainbow” came to be; what led to the series being named “Reading Rainbow;” and its connection to another popular PBS children’s series “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.”

Hanna Etu ’15 has earned certification as a book coach in memoir and nonfiction by the Author Accelerator program.
At Canisius, Etu majored in English, German, and creative writing. She took a workshop in creative nonfiction and wrote a creative all-college honors thesis, a collection of first-person essays. She published work in Quadrangle and served as an editor-in-chief of Quadrangle 63. For several years after graduation, she worked as an editorial associate at Prometheus Books.
Book coaches act as expert mentors and editors to authors at every stage of the writing process, from planning a project through revision and submission of a completed manuscript.
Etu is convinced that the telling and sharing stories can lead to both personal growth and societal change. “I passionately believe that through our shared written experiences, about mental health, grief, or other trauma,” she says, “we can form cross-cultural bonds and create institutional and social change.”
