The Need2Read Book Tour is an exciting 30-45 minute interactive story-time show with Lights, Camera & Action. Each show emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and personal development in an environment where Kids-Can-Just-Be-Kids!

Educators for over 11 years, Regina and Renita Deloatch captured their joy of rhyming in their first children’s book titled “Regina and Renita Tackle Nasty Nate’s Nasty Ways,” a fun, rhythmic and true anti-bullying story filled with colorful characters who teach kids self-love, how to make good choices, and how to take up for each other.

After the success of their first book winning 4th place internationally at the Reader’s Favorite book awards for an educational children’s book, the twins wrote their second book “Regina and Renita & their Hidden Crowns”. The book allows young children to visually see how their thoughts and actions have an impact on themselves and others around them. It encourages happiness through positive thoughts and positive actions by using the idea of a sparkling crown to show kids how satisfying it is to be nice and kind to one another.

Following their second successful book launch, the twins embarked on their first book tour “Need2Read” — a smash hit selling out in its first go around!


Our message is educational, fun and engaging!

"Regina and Renita bring positivity and encouragement to life for children by sharing their story of the Hidden Crown. The twins make a huge impact on the children in our school by helping them see their own 'hidden crowns’. Their hands-on approach allows children to be apart of the story. They are welcome at our school time and time again."
