Magic of Storytelling: Take a 'shelfie' to help a child in need
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- At ABC13, we believe that readers are leaders and that the Magic of Storytelling can really take you places.
But, too many children don't have books of their own - at home and at school - and that makes it hard for them to read, learn and succeed.
Disney and ABC are donating up to one million books to children in need through their partnership with First Book, and you can help by grabbing your phone and a story you love.
Now through March 31, you can post a shelfie (selfie with a book or book shelf) to celebrate the Magic of Storytelling! For every post on Twitter or Instagram with #MagicOfStorytelling, Disney will donate a new book to First Book.
