We are glad that our focus and stories are especially relevant today, when diversity, equity, and inclusion matter more than ever. The video was produced by our intern Lun Padungvichean.

Good Dream, Bad Dream
by Juan Calle
“In this action-packed, brightly illustrated bilingual book, a common childhood fear is addressed... Choices of colors for each spread are distinctive and in line with the characters portrayed; the names of the mythological beasts or villains are included.
VERDICT: Highly recommended for its broad appeal and adaptability as a read-aloud or independent read."

Welcome to Monster Isle
by Oliver Chin, illustrated by Jeff Miracola
"If you are a fan of the Magic: The Gathering artist Jeff Miracola, or even if you’re not and just want a colorful children’s book, you might want to pick up Welcome to Monster Isle... Monster Isle is eye-catching like a child’s imagination should be, so it will feel right at home while you’re reading it to them before they go to sleep at night."
