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 2000's 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.
Depending on the book art, the classic English texts are accompanied on the pages with Green and White Hmong 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).

Revised Schedule
Custom Baby Readers
Order by Sept 1st
2020 has thrown us all a Big Curve. However, we're optimistic that crucial early literacy efforts will resume when the developing new normal sets
in.
Our Spring and Fall SOFT-COVER runs will be joined into one grand 2020 run. Please send us your book counts by Sept 1. Finished books will deliver by Oct 15, with payment due 10/31/20.
Call Cheryl (612-990-6011) to discuss options. During this lull, we can develop your custom Reader covers so that the design and PDF proofing steps are done ahead of our new print deadlines.
My group is considering custom Baby Readers as a part of a new initiative...
While your organization is in the planning stages, we can work with you to create a mock-up custom cover. You'll have a draft custom version so colleagues have something tangible to consider during your presentation. Contact Cheryl for more information: 612-990-6011.
Preparing for an Early Learning committee meeting?
We can send you sample copies of our Baby and/or Toddler Readers. As you discuss your community's first outreach to new parents, colleagues may review the nursery rhymes, photos and Parent Notes.
