SIDNEY, Ohio (WDTN) — A Sidney Middle School student is spreading a
little bit of happiness to children who need it during the coronavirus
pandemic.
Twelve-year-old Olivia Breinich is giving children a virtual visit from
Disney princesses. A few times a week, she’s set up story time where
she dresses up like Disney princesses, reads books, and posts the
videos on Facebook. Recently she’s been dressing up as Elsa and Anna
from Frozen.
“I thought why not just read to the little kids because I think they
would enjoy that,” smiles Olivia.”I love reading and I thought maybe I
could read to the little kids, and not only are they listening and
giving their parents a little bit of a break, they also can see how
much I enjoy reading and maybe they would enjoy reading more too.”
“She went across the street to a park and stood there as Anna waving at
the kids,” describes her mother, Amy Breinich. “Some of her cousins
actually were excited because they thought she was the real one. And
then they saw her dressed up– I think as Anna– and they were like ‘Anna
looks like Olivia’,” laughs Amy.
Underneath the costume and makeup, Olivia is the real deal with the
heart of a Disney princess spreading a little bit of magic in a time
where everyone needs a ‘happily ever after.’
“She really is our princess. She’s our only daughter,” beams Amy.
Olivia says she has plans to dress up like other princesses and continue reading.
