See Ariana Grande Host ‘SNL,’ Watch ‘Piece by Piece’ in Theaters and More Billboard Family Hits of the Week


Billboard Family's Hits of the Week include Ariana Grande hosting 'SNL,' 'Piece by Piece' in movie theaters and more.

Below are a couple choices for different age ranges, including a beautifully illustrated, holiday Harry Potter release, and a neat box set of a best-selling, realistic fiction series that’s inspired a movie my family’s looking forward to streaming on Disney+ next month. I’ve been there behind the scenes for the rehearsal and live show, and I can tell you it’s a long night for the host, cast and crew that requires pure adrenaline and the ability to roll with last-minute changes, on top of the talent for delivering a punchline. Author Sharon M. Draper’s novel, great for readers who are middle schoolers — I’d have suggested it to mine, but she just looked over my shoulder and informed me she’s already read it, and “it was amazing” — is about the life of a smart 11-year-old who has cerebral palsy.
