Disney's 9th Annual Magic of Storytelling Campaign

Disney's 9th annual Magic of Storytelling campaign is here!

The Magic of Storytelling will run through March 31, 2021 virtually on MagicOfStorytelling.com, across the company’s networks and social platforms. The magic comes to life through the diverse voices of storytellers and talent from some of Disney’s most beloved books, series and movies.  Are you ready to enjoy virtual story time from super talented Disney authors and creators?

This year’s public service announcement (PSA) highlighting the life-changing impact that books have on children is voiced by Whoopi Goldberg.  First Book is distributing 1,000 books in honor of each of "The View" co- hosts to nonprofits of their interest. 

Watch the Magic Of Storytelling PSA:

Disney Publishing Worldwide has donated millions of books to First Book in over two decades of collaboration. These books have been distributed to educators in schools and programs that serve children from low-income communities around the United States. During the campaign, Disney Publishing Worldwide and ABC television stations across the country will help to distribute thousands of books to local organizations in their communities. Eligible community and educational programs serving low-income youth can also register with the First Book network to get access to free and low-cost books and resources, including those donated by Disney.
