For the first time ever, Disney has provided a suggested summer reading list to inspire the next generation of storytellers. Read on for details and to see where to purchase!
The shopDisney site has cultivated a summer reading list for kids age birth to young adult!
Disney is offering suggested summer reading options from various authors, including Pixar animator Mike Wu and New York Times Bestselling author Kwame Mbalia.
You may already be aware that Disney now owns National Geographic, and some of their books about nature made the list as well.
You’ll also see some stories about our favorite characters from Anna and Elsa to Spider-Man.
Disney states on the shopDisney site that they will also be donating one million books to Boys and Girls Clubs around the United States.
If you’re interested in the list, here are the selections broken down by age of reader. I’d be willing to bet you can find many of these books in your local library or Barnes and Noble, too!
