An honest to goodness slice of Americana

School's out and best friends Sammy and Jason have set off to win their town's annual fishing contest...but to these eager 10 year old boys, this is no ordinary fishing contest - it's THE GREAT FISHING CONTEST. In the week's leading up to the contest, the boys carefully plan their strategy to catch the biggest fish and win the grand prize - a brand-new fishing kit. Through mindful preparation, they assemble their gear, scope out the pond, and try their best to put themselves in the mind of the fish.

From Newbery winner David Kherdian and Caldecott medalist Nonny Hogrogian

Newbery award winning author David Kherdian has captured a true slice of Americana in THE GREAT FISHING CONTEST. Aspects of the friendship between Sammy and Jason harken back to simpler times before everything was RUSH-RUSH-RUSH. A scene that comes to mind is when the two boys sit on the porch and analyze whether luck will have anything do with them winning the grand prize. Kherdian cerrtainly has a knack for capturing honest and engaging dialogue. Caldecott Medalist Nonny Hogrogian has provided beautiful illustrations done in oil paint that really do capture the excitement of the boys as they set off to win THE GREAT FISHING CONTEST.


Paperback Edition

181-bedtimestorytext.png

Goodnight Moon has sold over 48 million copies and has been translated into at least 14 languages.  Sadly, this classic bedtime story has never been translated into Ukrainian...until now.   Together, let's translate and publish Goodnight Moon in Ukrainian and share it with Ukrainian children across the world.

 

Intended to set the stage for a night of sweet dreams, the Ukrainian edition of Goodnight Moon is now more relevant than ever for the children of Ukraine.  Forced to leave their homes as a result of a heart-wrenching war, these children have lost everything - their homes, their sense of security, and their way of life.  No child should have to endure such torment.  No child should be deprived of a night of sweet dreams.  And so, the war in Ukraine has given this translation campaign a new sense of urgency.  If we hit our minimum printing target goal, we will print at least 3,000 copies for the young children who have been displaced from their homes in Ukraine as well as for the maternity ward in Kyiv.  (If we exceed our goal, we'll be able to donate even more books!)

In the midst of uncertainty and chaos, the simplicity and calmness of Goodnight Moon will send a powerful message of relief to the children of the Ukraine and let them know that they are not alone.  We hope that this book will bring together children all across the globe - peering out to the same moon in the night sky.
