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).

Photo-casting call:
Families with 0-3 yr-olds to model reading aloud for our new Somali Family Reader...
TWB is completing our Somali Family Reader over the summer here in Minneapolis. Please contact us if you know of a young family that would like to model reading aloud for that book. Any family members can participate: moms, dads*, grandparents, sisters, sisters, aunts, or uncles with their 0-3 year-olds.
*TWB loves to have dads show off their read-aloud technique.
Photo shoots are ~20 minutes, and can be held at a nearby library, school, park, home, etc. While we welcome Somali-American families, our goal is to show all families reading to young children. So, any family is welcome and invited to participate in the fun!!
The photo session is enjoyable and casual -- plus, you'll receive your own copy of the
finished board book at TWB's Publishing Party for all participants. It's a fun way for your family to make a positive difference (and become very
famous)!
Please call Cheryl (612-990-6011) for more information.
Custom Reader Updates
Board Readers

Soft-Cover
Readers
We'll next be on press Nov 7th.
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.
