20 Years, 30 Multicultural Books, 275 Fun Educational Products
Vote in comments on your favorite book (and catalog subtitle)
It’s hard to believe that Sounds in the House – Sonidos en la casa, our first children’s mystery, was published 20 years ago! It’s been quite an adventure (since our first publisher died the day we were to print). We’ve had a lot of wild and funny exploits—and are gratified to be among the few publishers for young readers to survive two full decades.

By year’s end, we’ll have 30…

15 fun activities for German learning parents and children
New blog post: 15 fun activities for German learning parents and children
I’d been thinking about writing a blog post with activities for parents and their children to do on a rainy day for quite a while now. As we’re all stuck at home at the moment it’s quite an appropriate post. So here are 15 fun activities for German learning families on a rainy day or during a lockdown.
1. Play a game.Teach your child the numbers from 1 – 6 in German and play ‘Mensch ärgere dich…

Activities inspired by books are a brilliant way to make the reading experience interactive, creative and playful. Children also develop a range of skills when they make things but that’s for the adults to think about – young people can focus on the fun bits.
About the book:
A big box, her grandparents’ walking sticks… Neelu has everything she needs for her big, strong fort. But she trips and falls, and the box becomes flat! Whacky pictures take us on a colourful ride into a child’s imagination.
As soon as I read Neelu’s Big Box, my brain buzzed with possibilities. I used to love playing with cardboard boxes as a kid and even now, the sight of one thrills me to bits. Tragically, I’m too tall to fit into most of the boxes which come with delivered packages now but I yearn for the day I’m going to have to buy an enormous appliance or something that will justify a giant box.
Draw

All Neelu needs for her fort is a bunch of everyday objects. When she accidentally flattens one of these, it doesn’t take her too long to come up with another use for all of them. To encourage your readers to look at the everyday world with fresh new eyes, ask them to think of the objects Neelu used:
a cardboard box
a yellow basket
a red dupatta
two walking sticks
Then hand them sheets of paper to draw ideas for other things they can create with these objects.
Make
Image courtesy the Art Bar blog
Use a cardboard box lying around the house as a framework for a cardboard theatre.
Ask your readers to embellish the box – both outside and inside – with paint, drawings, decorations or any other ideas they can come up with.
Next look for toys and objects you have lying around the house or ask the readers to create characters of their own – either by drawing them or constructing them out of clay.
They can further furnish the theatres with props and settings.
Now the readers can come up with a wide range of stories to enact in the cardboard theatre. These can be flexible depending on the reader’s inclination and the materials you have at hand.
Watch
I watched this short film about nine-year-old Caine who built a games arcade entirely out of cardboard boxes in his dad’s garage years ago and it’s still one of my favourite things on the internet. Watch this after reading about Neelu’s adventures with her box to strike inspiration in the minds of your young readers.
youtube
Eat
No book activity – or, in fact, reading experience – is complete without food. Neelu uses a basket of fruits in her imaginative adventure. Have fun with fruit snacks as your readers set off on their own adventures.
An apple turtle companion to join the shenanigans. Recipe from here.
A rainbow fruit sword in case of danger. Recipe from here.
Do
Neelu wants to use her cardboard box to make a fort, though things don’t go according to plan. Fortunately, you don’t need to find a big box to make a fort of your own. Read this book in the comforts of a blanket fort. All you need are some sheets and blankets, a sofa and/or a table and/or a few chairs and you’re all set to go.
My friends and I had a long-distance blanket fort party where we each constructed our own forts and then coordinated a watching of Mulan together. I highly recommend this excellent activity.
Book Activities: Neelu’s Big Box Activities inspired by books are a brilliant way to make the reading experience interactive, creative and playful.

9 Books for Kids & Kids at Heart from the MIBF
9 Books for Kids & Kids at Heart from the MIBF
I wasn’t really planning to create a post about Manila International Book Fair (MIBF). To boot, I didn’t bring my camera as I usually would. I didn’t have planned shots in my mind. I didn’t brief my family that I will be covering the event. *Woops. Now you know what goes behind every blog post.* Haha. 😀 I’ve been wanting to go since it opened but I always feared that I might end up buying lots…

Funny Mysteries *One Free* & Halloween Costume Ideas
Funny Mysteries *One Free* & Halloween Costume Ideas
It seems I’m not alone in having trouble sleeping. As a child I experienced frightening bumps in the night—and an active imagination. Some of my experiences were comical (or, at least, became comical with the passage of time) like being too exhausted to sleep, mosquitoes that buzz the ear before dining, creaking pipes, and bizarre or bad dreams.
Lately I’m kept awake more from restless legs or an…

A Magic Cape of Careers, Colors, Cultures & Costumes
A Magic Cape of Careers, Colors, Cultures & Costumes
When I wrote Great Cape o’ Colors, I didn’t plan on it being about careers—I just wanted a Spanish-English picture book to teach colors to language learners. I came up with different costumes that include capes (costumes kids might try at home). I knew the book would have a pronunciation guide and diverse characters (something I try to have in all of my books). But after getting the artwork back…
