Join ABC7 in sharing the Magic of Storytelling

Too many children don't have books of their own - at home and at school - that makes it hard for them to read, learn and succeed.

ABC is partnering with First Book to share the power of great stories by putting brand new books into the hands of children in need in our community. As part of this commitment, organizations and partners in our community will receive 5,000 books.

First Book is a nonprofit social enterprise that puts new books and educational resources into the hands of children from low-income families nationwide. If you work with kids in a low-income school or program, or want to find out how you can help one in your community receive new books, visit www.FirstBook.org/BeInspired.

Be inspired to share the magic of storytelling in your community! Great stories take kids to amazing places, grow their imaginations and teach them incredible things to prepare them for bright futures.
