me+mi publishing is an independent publisher dedicated to creating the highest quality books available in two or more languages for infants and toddlers. Reading is a critical element of success in life, and linguists generally agree that bilingual programs provide real educational benefits. We believe that by exposing dual language literature to children at the earliest stages, they will enter the education system not only well prepared with strong reading skills, but with a unique advantage as well. As a result learning becomes a positive life experience for the rest of their lives.Creators of Award-Winning Dual language Books The English-Spanish Foundations Series is a prized group of picture books specially designed to reflect the joy, spontaneity, and energy of infants and toddlers.
