FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ONE-OF-A-KIND CHILDREN'S BOOK IS INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED TO
TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT THEIR HERITAGE
Broward County, FL -- In today's world, more than ever,
Americans are surrounded by different cultures, languages,
customs, traditions, and food; yet children rarely understand
why these differences exist. In order to help them recognize
that some of these traditions and customs are a part of their
own unique heritage and that their heritage should be
embraced, My Heritage Book, a new personalized children's
book, is now available.
In My Heritage Book, children can learn about the countries
from which their ancestors came and some of the traditions
they brought to America. Each book is made to order and can
combine up to four countries. Currently, there are
approximately thirty countries available, with more on the
way. Each country has exciting and educational topics which
include geography, food, language, music, landmarks, and
traditions, along with beautiful illustrations. In addition,
each book contains a letter to the child from the person(s)
purchasing the book, the child's name throughout, and space
for the child to fill in his/her own family's traditions and
family tree. All of these features make
My Heritage Book a
truly unique and wonderful keepsake for each child.
"This is truly a one-of-a-kind idea for a children's book,"
said Candace Munoz, a teacher at JFK Magnet School in Port
Chester , New York. "As both a new mother and an educator, it
is great to have a book that is both a keepsake and an
educational tool for a child."
Deanna Bufo Novak is the author of
My Heritage Book and
founder of its publisher, kidsHeritage, Inc. She had the idea
for the book in early 2004, following the birth of her
daughter. As a new mom, she loved receiving personalized gifts
for her baby girl and, at the same time, loved watching her
mother and mother-in-law teach their granddaughter about their
family traditions. So the My Heritage Book was born. Alicia Bresee, the very talented illustrator of
My Heritage Book ,
was as passionate and enthusiastic about the project as
Deanna, and came on-board. My Heritage Book is printed by Docuvision Incorporated in Davie, Florida .
My Heritage Book, along with matted reprints of the
illustrations from each country, can be ordered by visiting www.myheritagebook.com or calling 954-236-2843 or 866-383-7833
(Toll Free). My Heritage Book is also available at Flora Ottimer Children's Boutique, 713B East Las Olas Blvd., Fort
Lauderdale.
