New Sponsor: Lorito Books

The LBBC welcomes its newest sponsor, Lorito Books.

A few months ago, while reading through some marketing materials for the Fourth International Book Fair in Dallas, I discovered a new independent publishing company, Lorito Books. I was intrigued by the idea of bilingual audiobooks for children. So you can imagine my delight when I received an email from Pam Fochtman, the company’s President, asking about a sponsorship.

Lorito Books is a company that supports many of the same goals that we do here at the LBBC: developing second language literacy and promoting the beauty of Latino culture. They believe that audiobooks are a valuable tool to accomplish these goals.

Their high quality, word-for-word audiobook read-alongs for young readers and second language learners are carefully chosen for their culturally relevant content and values. Their products include Growing Up With Tamales/Los tamales de Ana, The Desert is my Mother/El desierto es mi madre, Icy Watermelon/ Sandía fría and other popular titles in Latino children’s literature.

I am eagerly looking forward to sharing with you some of their fabulous products over the next couple of months (and maybe even a giveaway or two!)

So take a moment to show your support and stop by Lorito Books’ web site to learn more about the history of their company and their products.

Muchisimas gracias to Lorito Books, we’re so happy to have you join us!
