About Snow White & SignWriting
This publication of Snow White is dedicated to
Walt Disney and A.P. Giannini.

In 1937, Walt Disney, and his talented team of
animators, presented the first
full-length animated motion picture: Snow White.

A.P. Giannini, who later founded
Bank of America, loaned Walt Disney the
funds to produce the animated film Snow White.

In the same pioneering spirit, SignWriting is
changing history, creating a written form
for sign languages. Visual in nature,
the invention of SignWriting
was specifically influenced by the visual
sophistication of Disney animation.

The writing of Snow White in American
Sign Language in SignWriting is made possible
because of funding from the Claire Giannini Fund.
Claire Giannini, daughter of A.P. Giannini,
established the Claire Giannini Fund to assist
new and innovative projects such as the
SignWriting Literature Project.

This is just the first of several Snow White
storybooks in SignWriting. We hope in time
to produce a series of workbooks and storybooks,
at different reading and writing levels.

THANK YOU!!
