Hmong-Language Books

Third Week Books does not have plans for a Hmong Baby Reader. Nevertheless, we're aware that other areas of the country are serving Hmong-language speakers among their families.

The Minnesota Humanities Commission spearheaded an initiative in the early 2000s to publish 17 American classics in White and Green Hmong. These are some of those titles, all in New condition. One copy of each is available.

The classic English texts have Green and White Hmong texts printed both. Some books (as noted) have the Green or White Hmong alongside the English text on the pages. Then, the other language (White or Green Hmong) is provided on back pages or typed on an insert. Each title's situation is as noted in description.

Here's an interesting compilation of facts about Hmong culture, history language from Minnesota Public Radio (MPR).
