It’s hard to believe that Sounds in the House – Sonidos en la casa, our first children’s mystery, was published 20 years ago! It’s been quite an adventure (since our first publisher died the day we were to print). We’ve had a lot of wild and funny exploits—and are gratified to be among the few publishers for young readers to survive two full decades.

OFFERINGS

By year’s end, we’ll have 30 unique book titles/textbooks, 30 classroom lesson plans (many free), 16 themed book bundles—and about 275 entertaining products/gifts (hard/soft/ebook/audio formats, language versions, and concept compilations).

We’ve rebranded from Gozo Books, to Premio Publishing, to Kids World Books (see our latest logo and site) and have YouTube and TikTok channels, lots of social media profiles, and numerous book awards. Our titles have had nods from Publisher’s Weekly, Kirkus, School Library Journal, ForeWord, and The Horn Book. They’re in schools, homeschools, and libraries around the world—from Poland to Peru to the Philippines—and available via most book outlets/distributors.

We have expanded into biographies/nonfiction, self-help, and fiction for adult readers (see PremioBooks.com and our new store: PathsPress.com).

FREEBIES

Biography, Agnes’s Rescue: The True Story of an Immigrant Girl and Spanglish thriller, Why Juan Can’t Sleep: A Funny Mystery, are free on our site and on Kindle (self-help too). Next weekend 4 Spanish-English Books with pronunciation guide will be free. Feel free to share.

Don’t miss our exclusive book bundles, free ebooks, lessons, online secrets, and multiple informative videos/interviews on publishing.

Get the best price from KidsWorldBooks (before distributors force them up again!).

We’ve reinvented the book catalog—publishing all our covers in one volume called Laughter, Laughter – Now & After (free on Kindle Unlimited). No longer a dry list, we hope you enjoy the artwork by our diverse artists from a variety of ethnic backgrounds (also, see if you see three narratives reading each title in order:).

HELP

Thank you for coming with us on this eclectic ride. We can’t wait for you see this year’s new titles (some wordless, some nostalgic, some goofy) and concept book compilations. Some of our compilations don’t have ratings/STARS yet on Amazon, your “rate” click can help our ethnic books be more visible. Please also follow Karl Beckstrand on Amazon and social media!

As always, we continue to highlight learning concepts, ethnicity and cultures, and the Spanish language for kids/students of any age. We hope you’ll share our site with, and gift our books to, the parents, teachers, booksellers, librarians, and readers you know.
