A. October continues Hispanic Heritage Month

We continue America's annual celebration of Latino culture, which started on September 15th.
Again, Immedium has published two stories bilingual in Spanish. The first was:
Good Dream, Bad Dream: The World's Heroes Save the Night!
created by Juan Calle and Serena Valentino
"Illustrating the world's iconic defenders in a vibrant comic book style, this bilingual (Spanish) story has global appeal...The book leaves an excellent opportunity for curious minds who want to learn more! If you are looking for a good bedtime story, Good Dreams, Bad Dreams/Sueño bueno, sueño malo is perfect... we really believe that books are great conversations starters for lots of important topics. Dreams shouldn't just be brushed off! Bravo to Juan Calle and Serena Valentino for understanding children and showing just how important and powerful their dreams can be."

Welcome to Monster Isle
by Oliver Chin,

"The words tell a fun and adventurous tale, yet it is certainly Jeff Miracola's illustrations that bring this story and it's beasts to life. I love that the Yowie (Australian Bigfoot) makes an appearance! This is definitely a book with kid appeal!"
