Very interesting study! Many of our books have multiple characters which from this study sounds like we are doing something right. Babies are so smart 🤓

Parents often receive books at pediatric checkups via programs like Reach Out and Read and hear from a variety of health professionals and educators that reading to their kids is critical for supporting development.

Did you know we have books in French now? Based on feedback that we had received from the education community, we learned that there is a real shortage of French language books for children. So with the help of a number of native French speakers, we have been hard at work translating all of our books into French.
Here is the French language release of our title Cute Food aka Mignon tout bon. :) More titles to come in the near future.

Smells like new books here! Big delivery of 'Monster Babies' books arrived and we are getting excited for the up coming book launch.

11/11/2016

There has been much discussion about our next book around the board room table (aka the coffee table) and we have gone back to our original vision of the 'Monster Babies' book. In short we thought that the images of the sculptures weren't being showcased in the new story line. So here is the new cover design

The Little Cracked Pot is a story inspired by an ancient Chinese proverb. The story speaks to the value of diversity and the flawed idea of what is “perfect.” This is a simple, yet powerful message which all children should hear.
