Kids 4 Kids Publishing getting ready to leave for Malawi!

Kids 4 Kids Publishing is going to Malawi on June 9th!  Stay tuned for information!
Putting the books together has been a joy!  The Brandon kids' stories are terrific!  We have 6 readers with stories.  Each color contains a different reader.

The kids loved writing the stories, sharing them with each other, and preparing them for publication.  
Reading the children's submissions is great fun!  The lively stories, funny situations, and creative illustrations make being an adult editor rewarding!

Where are we now?


Children from Morris Brandon Elementary School in Atlanta, GA have written stories and submitted them to Kids 4 Kids Publishing.  The student editors, along with the adult editors, chose the stories they thought would be most interesting to other children. 

To save time, the adult editors formatted the stories for publication.  (Next year we hope this will all be done by the kids!) Now the kids will help to photocopy stories and put them into story collections.  Story collections include: adventure stories, animal stories, fantasy, and humorous stories.  


Why Kids 4 Kids?


What does a child possess that can be freely given to other children across the world? Ideas, thoughts, and stories!  Children's writing holds the potential to provided reading materials for those who do not have books, as well as to spark an examination of differing cultures from across the world. 

Kids 4 Kids Publishing!


Growing out of the reality that many kids around the world do not own books, Kids 4 Kids Publishing works to connect kids with other kids to develop literacy and cultural understanding through creativity.
