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).

for
Custom Baby
Readers
2021 Board-Book Run
Board-book rushes looked great in late July. Worldwide transportation congestion has slowed delivery of this run's finished books. As of 9/20, the
custom books are stateside with delivery expected the week of 9/27.
Fall '21 Soft-Cover Run
Be sure to place your soft-cover CUSTOM order by 11/1/21. And, we can start drafting your cover design now. Early file prep is especially helpful if
you're working with a committee or sponsor to receive input on a PDF draft.
Finished books deliver by 12/15/21.
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.
