MIDVALE, UT, May 08, 2013 (Press-News.org) Parents and teachers seeking more racially-diverse educational books for children have new options—and more places to find them. This month Premio Publishing & Gozo Books has made its multicultural activity and language books available at more than 75 Utah libraries and bookmobiles.
The publishers of these nationally-lauded English and Spanish books, activity mysteries, ebooks and non-fiction books on immigrants have donated hundreds of bilingual books locally and internationally. Their books feature children of black, white, Asian, Hispanic and mixed races, and come with finding or counting activities, language pronunciation guides, online secrets and even recipes. Surprise twists, vivid images and humor hold student attention and make them repeat readers.
The company has also increased the number of web sites that offer their diverse books and ebooks around the world, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Nook, Kindle, iBooks, Kobo, Sony, Diesel, Smashwords and Etsy. Premiobooks.com offers a free geography ebook: It Ain't Flat: A Memorizable Book of Countries meant to be read aloud. They plan to release interactive book apps later this year.
Premio's publisher, Karl Beckstrand, will be presenting on Creating & Publishing Children's Books for Broadest Reach (including ebooks and Print-On-Demand) at the LDStorymakers Conference Friday, May 10 at the Provo, Utah Marriott Hotel at 10:40 a.m. Premio Publishing's books are available nationwide via Baker & Taylor, Brodart, Follett Library Resources/BWI Title Wave, Amazon and Ingram.
Premio's multicultural books have been praised by School Library Journal, the Horn Book blog, ForeWord Reviews and others. While their children's books may be ordered via Baker & Taylor, Brodart, Follett Library Resources/BWI Title Wave, Ingram, Amazon and others, the publisher will continue to donate books to US libraries and local charities. Libraries that did not receive a free bilingual book may contact the publisher while quantities last.
Premio Publishing & Gozo Books has been delighting families and educators since 2004. Our multicultural activity books (including Spanish and bilingual books with pronunciation guide, picture-book mysteries, ebooks, and kid's cookbook) have diverse characters in funny, engaging vivid color. Nationally-lauded (ForeWord Reviews, Horn Book blog, School Library Journal, Barnes & Noble) our educational stories capture attention and create repeat readers. They are not about ethnic or racial diversity; they simply feature Hispanic, black, Asian, white and mixed-race children and address fear, courage, sharing and giving. Find our children's books via: Baker & Taylor, Bn.com, Brodart, Amazon, Follett Library Resources/BWI Title Wave, Ingram, Nook, Kindle, iBooks, Kobo and Premiobooks.com (free online books).
