Reading Rainbow premiered on PBS in 1983, hosted by LeVar Burton, and encouraged children to read through stories and book recommendations. Its theme song, performed by Tina Fabrique, begins with the 'butterfly in the sky' image that became inseparable from the show's opening titles. The series ran until 2006, but the song stayed in circulation through reruns, school memories, parodies, and later social media edits. It is now shorthand online for childhood literacy, curiosity, and the sincere joy of getting lost in a good book.
