“The magic of storytelling and the power of imagination can be seen in every corner of Walt Disney World Resort,” said Tajiana Ancora-Brown, director of external affairs for Walt Disney World Resort “Extending that magic and power beyond our resort and into the homes of our neighbors helps to cultivate a love of learning, reading and growing together.”
The event was made possible through Disney’s partnership with First Book, which is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to providing new books to educators and children, particularly for lower income families.
“Much like Walt Disney World Resort, reading has the power to transport children and families into other worlds, letting them explore all their imaginations have to offer,” said Kyle Zimmer, president, CEO and co-founder of First Book. “There’s no better way for us to showcase the magic of reading than by partnering with Disney to host events like the one today.”
