We make story books, games, and activities around the world, designed to be fun and accessible to any kid right here in the U.S. Our work is uncompromisingly authentic to real modern life, while being lighthearted and fun. We have just started work on our first children’s book, set in Cameroon. We also have connections with authors and artists that will make it possible for us to do this work in many other countries. We’re moving next to Trinidad & Tobago and El Salvador.
Our mission: (1) make the study abroad experience, which is often only for privileged college students, accessible to all kids; (2) empower children from countries across the world by having them share stories of their daily lives, their dreams, adventures, etc…without stereotypes or caricatures; (3) expose young readers to all kinds of foreign languages from French, Portuguese, Spanish, to Arabic and Mandarin; (4) provide beautiful original artwork done by painters from countries around the world; (5) make an ebook with unlimited classroom reprint licenses available to teachers; (6) provide jobs in countries where the stories take place with fair contracts that reward and value the artist’s intellectual property and talent; (7) fund libraries in poor neighborhoods in countries where there is no access to literature; (8) teach kids how to be creative and imaginative by showing them how to use common household items to make DIY toys.
