Did you know? One in five households in the US speak a second language in the home, yet only 3 percent of literature is translated. This is why we are so excited to bring out Children Bilingual Books, now available for purchase in Marketplace.  

Children Bilingual Books is working to reverse that trend by publishing a genre of books largely ignored by traditional publishers. The popular Sophia and Alex series is available as both ebooks and Read-Alongs, and provides stories on common themes such as Making New Friends, Visiting Grandparents, Going to Preschool, and more!
