SNOWFLAKE BOOKS LTD

Company description

What better way to introduce a nation’s culture to young children than through its favourite fairy tales and legends? Snowflake Books make beautiful picture story books based on old Chinese legends and specially re-written in English for children. The stories are warm and sympathetic, and aim to introduce traditional Chinese culture to Western children. We aim to use our books and workshops to attract educators and parents who are looking for new and unique ways to develop children’s cultural awareness. Teaching multiculturalism and diversity will support children in experiencing positive socialisation and behaviours as they grow. Enabling our children with the tools to accept differences between cultures and to explore similarities will encourage harmonious functioning, within a multicultural society. Around 16 per cent of the world’s population speak some form of Chinese, and with opportunities for business between the East and West on the up, Mandarin and Eastern culture is a great place to start! Books are currently being sold by big names such as retailer Blackwells in Oxford and international wholesaler Bertrams. And some very fortunate Oxfordshire schools and a London Nursery have already raved great reviews about Snowflake’s visits. ‘The Brick Castle’ quoted, “Snowflake Books are gorgeous, well-written, beautifully illustrated and explain so much!
