The children's faces lit up as Shirleen read from a Dr. Seuss classic at PS 171 Patrick Henry on East 103rd Street.
You can join forces with ABC7NY and Disney by posting a photo of yourself while you read from your favorite childhood book.
Place it on Twitter on Instagram with #MagicofStorytelling between now and March 31 to help bring the knowledge of books to kids.
You can also buy books on shopdisney.com. Disney will donate a new book to First Book for every purchase.
