On December 29th 2017, Disney Publishing Worldwide announced they will donate up to one million books to First Book, a nonprofit that provides new books to educators and organizations serving children from low-income families, during Disney’s sixth annual Magic of Storytelling campaign from today through March 31, 2018.
The Magic of Storytelling campaign's purpose it to inspire families’ imaginations, to spark a lifelong love of reading in kids and bring books to low- income communities across the country!
Over the years Disney has already provided over 61 million books and inspired and exposed so many young lives to a world that awaits them.

I have seen the power of books, These kid thrive for knowledge and that all begins with books.
