To give hope to people at this time when everyone is locked down in their homes, actor Josh Gad, the voice of Olaf, came up with a creative idea to use his voice to connect with his fans of all age groups. On 13th March, he went online on his Twitter handle to share his innovative idea with everyone. He announced that from now on, every night, he will read a bedtime story to send his virtual warm hugs to everyone.

While announcing live to his audience, he said that he is going to try this and see how things go. He has decided that he is going to read for adults as well as their children, depending on what his audience prefer. He added that since at this moment the world is a little bit of hot mess, he is not going to pass any judgements.

Since the time he has announced his idea to the world, he has loyally showed up on Twitter every night at 7:30 pm EDT. He started with one of favorite kids’ book, ‘Olivia goes to Venice’, by Jan Falconer. He read the book out loud in the 10-minute session. He calls these sessions the #GadBookClub. He has made it even more interesting, as being a voice actor, he uses this incredible skill and gives different voice to each character. Of course, everyone enjoys a book when each character has a unique voice!
