Learn With AW Books

Fun activities and books to enjoy while learning outside of school!

 

Right now, the way children read and learn might look a bit different. And teachers, librarians, and parents are swiftly doing what they can to allow kids across the world to continue learning no matter where their classroom may be.

At Albert Whitman, we want to help the way we know best: sharing books that matter with the world, because right now the world needs unity (and a good book) more than ever. In the coming weeks, we will spotlight on our social media channels Albert Whitman titles alongside activity kits and exercises to help keep kids reading and learning through these uncertain times.

We want to inspire and educate our children, and will tag any of these related posts with the hashtag #learnwithawbooks.

November 11, 2020 Statement

In life, in business, and especially in publishing, it’s true that you’re only as good as your word. Unfortunately, at Albert Whitman & Co., we struggled to communicate with some of our authors, and our employees, and for that I am deeply sorry.

Make a Splash with these Hot Reads | Summer Reads

Summer is for book lovers! For a few months, kids have fewer commitments, which means more time to read. During the day, they can soak up a story along with the sun, and at night, they can stay up late to finish one more chapter—with parental permission, of course.
