INVESTORS RETAILERS CUSTOMERS THE BOOKS KIDS LOVE TO READ. OUR STORY Once upon a time, Educational Development Corporation (EDC) began with a focus on educational material. However, it didn’t take us long to discover our true passion: books that children actually like to read! The vision became apparent, and we realized that together we could change the world one book at a time. Over time, we have become internationally recognized as a force to be reckoned with in children’s publishing. Usborne and Kane Miller books positively impact the way children and families read, learn, and grow. While selling children’s books is our only line of business, we sell them through two business segments: Usborne Books & More (aka UBAM) is our home business division that sells D2C (direct to consumer). Books are sold nationwide through Independent Consultants who share books with their customers in various ways, including parties, on social media, at book fairs, in schools and public libraries, and more. Our retail division markets books to bookstores (including major national chains), toy stores, specialty stores, museums, and other retail outlets throughout the country. We are still writing our story, and we want YOU to be a part of it. Are you ready to join our literacy mission? OUR MISSION Our mission statement drives our business. “The future of our world depends on the education of our children. We deliver educational excellence one book at a time.

Stories of transformation. Stories that will warm your heart. Growing up, my family spent a lot of time reading together. Books became a source of adventure and friendship. I especially loved the stories in my Illustrated Classics collection. When it came time to learn to read, I struggled with dyslexia, but I was motivated to work hard because I knew books were full of great stories and information. My mom used these books to teach me, and eventually, I went from remedial reading to Honors English. - Matthew C. (Customer) Seldom do you have a line that has something for everyone, and every store. The books are an easy sell because of the age range, educational content, and variety of subject matter. It consistently ranks in my top 3 lines. - Don S. (EDC Sales Rep) For most people, a job is a paycheck. But for me, it is so much more. EDC has been instrumental in my growth professionally and personally. EDC gave me a second chance on life. I doubt they knew that it wasn’t just a job they offered me, but a start to the kind of life one could be proud of. The people here are family and we will continue to rise together. - Tracy G.
