Yamaguchi, a New York Times bestselling children’s author, “Dancing with the Stars” champion, philanthropist and mom, established her Always Dream Foundation in 1996 to support the hopes and dreams of children. Her passion for reading ignited the foundation’s commitment to early childhood literacy. In 2012, ADF launched Always Reading as its core program to connect children with e-books and 21st-century technology in both the classroom and home environments and through community events.
