Members of the Press:
Thank you for your continued support. On April 14, Kodansha released the book *Disney·Pixar: My First Programming*, with Nanako Ishido (CEO of CANVAS) providing supervision.
This workbook is designed for preschoolers and uses Disney and Pixar characters to teach the fundamental concepts of programming.

With Pixar friends from *Toy Story*, *Cars*, *Finding Nemo*, and more,
children can have fun learning the fundamental programming concepts of “sequence,” “looping,” and “conditions” while solving quizzes.
In addition to solving quizzes, there’s also a creative section where children can enjoy free expression by coming up with their own original characters!
We understand you are very busy, but we would greatly appreciate it if you could consider widely publicizing this book through your media outlets.
If you decide to feature this book in your media, we would appreciate it if you could let us know.
