Our Newsletter for Librarians: Introducing OwlKids Books
Hello,
I am very pleased to introduce Owlkids Books. I am highlighting a few new titles and two backlist favorites below.
A note from the Owlkids Books, publisher: At Owlkids Books, we aim to nurture boundless imaginations. We publish books for both primary and middle grade readers to develop children's natural love of learning into a lifelong enjoyment of literature and reading. From picture books to non-fiction, from science and the environment to history and the arts, our publishing program reflects and respects children's intelligence, creativity, and curiosity. With engaging writing and creative illustration and design, Owlkids books are loved by parents, teachers, librarians, and—most importantly—kids!
Enjoy! Elenita
