“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” — Dr. Seuss.
Wise words, and if you’re looking for ways to help young readers explore the magic of books this year Disney launched a new program on shopDisney.com to help you do just that. It’s called Buy a Book, Give a Book. With each purchase of a book on shopDisney.com now through December 31, 2021 Disney will donate a book to First Book (firstbook.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free and affordable new books and educational resources to educators who serve children in need.
Disney Publishing has a wide range of children’s and adult books to choose from including Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and National Geographic titles.

“We are thrilled that together with Disney, First Book will continue to ignite a love of storytelling in kids around the country, encouraging them to confidently share their own stories,” said Kyle Zimmer, founder and CEO of First Book. “Research has shown us that the presence of books in the home improves educational outcomes. Through shopDisney’s Buy a Book, Give a Book program, we see a continued effort to break down barriers to a quality education.”
Throughout two decades of collaboration, Disney Publishing Worldwide has donated over 82 million books to First Book, a nonprofit organization that puts free and affordable new books and educational resources into the hands of educators who support children from underserved communities nationwide. First Book has built a community that addresses the systemic causes of educational inequity and creates permanent change—not simply in the life of one child who wants to learn, but across the entire education system.
Head over to shopDisney.com to shop titles from across Disney Publishing Worldwide and help spread the joy of reading with a child in need! The Buy a Book, Give a Book program runs through December 31, 2021.
