Labor Day in Colorado
Immedium heads for the hills this holiday weekend!
To celebrate the last days of summer, we'll attend a Chinese Heritage Camp, in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, which brings together families of children adopted from China. This annual event unites a nationwide community of parents and educators who bring to life Asian traditions for an eager generation in a contemporary American context.
Author Oliver Chin is glad to be invited! He will teach classes of elementary school kids how to make their own "birth year" animal stories, just like his series Tales from the Chinese Zodiac.
Meanwhile, he looks forward to meeting new readers and sharing Immedium's colorful stories with them.
We hope you have a restful and relaxing conclusion to the summer of 2010 and exciting start to a new school year.
Artist Spotlight - DGPH
DGPH is a creative team who hails originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. This graphic design studio is wildly inventive and partial to moles (we mean the four-legged and furry kind).
Far from the bane of gardeners, DGPH's mascot Topo (Spanish for "mole") is a cute character who has assumed a rainbow of guises from toys to clothing. Now he embarks on what might be his most fantastic adventure: into outer space! DGPH is busy creating their upcoming tale Space Cadet Topo. Topo is an astronaut who works at the Donut Space Station and monitors the universe. But one day, something totally unexpected happens: the sun has turned off! Without its warm rays, the galaxy is starting to become a very cold place indeed. Space Cadet Topo gets instructions for a new mission: turn the sun back on pronto before everything freezes forever! Can he succeed with a smile? Find out! |
Share Immedium stories online
We are glad to announce that our children's books are now available online at www.astorybeforebed.com.
Make our stories your own! Customize the experience and share it with friends or family. As long as one has a webcam, a customer can record themselves reading the book, page by page. Like a television's picture in picture feature, they can see themselves in a little window next to the story's illustrations. Then if they like their performance, they can pay an affordable fee to "own" it, and then they can email their "storytime" to another person around the globe who can enjoy playing it.
This is a great way for parents on the road to send greetings home. Similarly, grandparents and friends can email their love in living color. Plus as a service to our men and women in uniform, people in the United States armed forces can sign up for a special mailing list offering free recordings and discounts so they can send greetings to their children who may be far away.
