Announcing The First Ever Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Kids Early Reader Book Series

Leave a comment

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education was a priority President Obama shared in his inaugural address. For the first time, a STEM-specific kids illustrated book series is being released by best-selling authors Ponn, JuJu, GiGi and JoJo Sabra.

Los Angeles, CA, March 29, 2013 – Best-selling authors and bloggers Ponn, JuJu (12), GiGi (11) and JoJo (9) Sabra announce the new release of: ‘What Is STEM?’ book one of the Emmy and Ott – The STEMBots kids book series. To be released on March 30, 2013, the book aims to “Make Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Fun and Easy for kids aged 4 to 12 years.”

In the attempt to make STEM subjects more practical, approachable, easy-to-understand and fun, best-selling authors and self-proclaimed STEMologists, Ponn, JuJu (12), GiGi (11) and JoJo (9) Sabra, created early-reader level books that will help build kids’ language and STEM-literacy skills at the same time.

Introducing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) To Early Readers
‘What Is STEM?’ is a 30-page colorful kids illustrated book, written in fun and easy rhymes, taught by robot characters Emmy and Ott – the world’s first STEM robots, also known as STEMBots. The book uses rhymes to help children memorize concepts for a fun and playful way to learn and includes a 4-page Glossary of Terms.

‘What is STEM?’ is available through Amazon.com. During the official launch from March 30- April 3, 2013, the book will be available FREE in digital format for Kindle readers. After April 3, the book will be $2.99.

“Parents can see the practicality of how, where, and when to infuse STEM into their kid’s daily lives, which can have a profound ability to spark the interest of their kids in these subjects. It’s unfortunate that these subjects are typically known as ‘difficult, boy-only, analytical, unapproachable’ classes. Our goal is to share our colorful and adorable STEMBot characters to excite parents, and demonstrate to kids that Science, Engineering, Technology and Math CAN be fun and easy”, says Ponn Sabra.

Kids need a way to make Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math interesting to them, for their future careers. Right now, one-third of fourth graders have lost an interest in Science, and about 50 percent of eighth graders are not interested in Science or find it unimportant to their education and future.

Despite spending the second most on education, the United States doesn’t rank well compared to the rest of the world. American students rank 28th in Math literary, 24th in Science literacy, and 20th for degrees in Natural Science and Engineering. It is predicted that by 2020, 58 percent of the workforce will be STEM-related jobs. The U.S. is not creating enough STEM-graduates to meet this demand. To stay competitive, our country needs need to build more interest in these subjects and is why President Obama prioritized STEM education in his 2013 inaugural address. In short, we need more STEMologists.

A STEMologist, according to the Sabra’s, is “an expert or someone studying how to make STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fun and practical for all”. The Sabra’s emphasize its value for girls, women and minorities, the under-represented groups in STEM fields.

Free Bonus Gifts For Kids
To further interest kids in these subjects, the Sabra’s offer free bonus gifts with the purchase of the “What is STEM?” book, such as:

An audio recording of the “What is STEM?” book,
Coloring pages of Emmy and Ott throughout the book, and
The opportunity for other kids to participate in weekly contests and challenges to build future STEMologists.

The Sabra Sisters are homeschooled by their mom, Ponn Sabra, a biologist and public health administrator who left her career to raise a family. She blends STEM into all the girl’s daily activities and explorations. JuJu, GiGi and JoJo Sabra have become award-winning inventors, professional bloggers, information product developers, website designers, coders, and best-selling Kindle authors while still tweens.

The Sabras hope to hear from other kids and parents who have also found creative ways to teach STEM at home.

Ruminations of a Catholic School Girl by Vicki Lindgren Rimasse Hits Amazon Best Seller List One Day After Release

Leave a comment

First Edition Design Publishing launches breakout book in over 100 countries.

Sarasota, FL, USA – March 8, 2012 — One day after its worldwide release by First Edition Design Publishing on March 5, Ruminations of a Catholic School Girl (Who Thinks in Latin but Lives Near Hackensack) by Vicki Lindgren Rimasse hit Amazon’s Best Seller List in the Humor Essays category.

“Writing a book has been a life-long dream which started in (public) grammar school,” author, Vicki Lindgren Rimasse said. “I was in an accelerated grammar school program where everyone else was a math whiz and I was challenged in that area. In fact, my first-grade teacher wrote that ‘Vicki needs to pay more attention to her arithmetic.’ I started writing little stories and passing notes to friends in class as early as third-grade. One time, the teacher confiscated the note and forced me to read it aloud, thinking it would embarrass me–but it actually made everyone laugh (even her).”

Ruminations of a Catholic School Girl is a compendium of random thoughts on food, love, s*x, shopping, marriage, divorce, death, rebirth, the existential vacuum and music through essays, notes passed in class, and diary entries. With vivid imagery and sardonic commentary, brings to life the story of a Boomer from Long Island, New York ,Gwen Patrick (the author’s alter-ego), who loves shoes, Beaujolais, shopping, food and most of all–food, family and friends. Chronicling her life from her first experience with parochial school in the 60s through her son Zimmerman’s high school years, it tells the story of a Long Island boomer’s experience and continuing journey. With references to Plutarch and Popeye, the Bible and S*x and the City, Jim Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Opera, Gwen’s journey resonates with women of any age – and men who understand the importance of having the right mustard for their pastrami.

“I’m excited when success comes so quickly to one of our new authors. We are thrilled to have such a fine writer added to our list of accomplished authors,” said Deborah E. Gordon, CEO of First Edition Design Publishing. Ruminations of a Catholic School Girl is very well written and is a great, fun read. Vicki Lindgren Rimasse is the new Dorothy Parker and Irma Bombeck–all in one person.”

The author continued, “All during junior high, I passed notes to my best friend Lucy who actually wanted to become my friend so she could get twelve-page missives on a daily basis. In high school, it was Jaime who was the recipient of notes and short stories and poems, all of which she gathered for me in a folder and presented them to me at my 30th birthday party. And then there were the diaries…interestingly I still obsess about the same things that I did at fourteen…’Does he like me? Will I get a job? Am I pretty enough? Smart enough?’ Some things never change.”

Although I graduated from law school, practicing law was never my passion; it was always writing. In the 80s I was a legal editor and then decided to go underground in a series of day jobs, which helped me pay the bills and leave my mind unoccupied so that I could focus on the book.”

Ruminations of a Catholic School Girl (Who Thinks in Latin but Lives Near Hackensack) ISBN 9781937520670 is available in ebook form through the Amazon Kindle store, Barnes and Noble, Sony, and thousands of other on-line retailers around the world. A print version is due out later this year.

The author remarked about being ranked among Amazon’s Bestsellers “I am thrilled beyond measure.” She said about First Edition Design Publishing, “I chose First Edition Design Publishing because of their high standards and felt that it was the only publishing company of its kind that could offer me the benefits I needed– including International Distribution and excellence in customer service. The experience was so wonderful that I’m already planning two sequels.”

Leave a comment

A Collection of Poems & Stories has been launched at a gala party in Los Angles.

Los Angeles, CA (USA), Friday – January 13, 2012 — If anyone wants to read romantic poems and stories that touch the depth of one’s heart, waking up the hidden emotions, here is your chance. Renowned writer V Bright Saigal’s Lullaby – A Collection of Poems & Stories (ISBN – 978-1-257-90871-4) [http://www.vbrightbooks.00server.com] has been launched at a gala party in Los Angles.

“This is an exciting moment in my life” the author said.

Though many poems of his had been launched in 2010, this is the first time a collection of more than 30 poems and a few short stories launched in the market. The waiting is over but the celebration of book reading is still on. The readers began commenting on the poems that inspire every heart to love and love again. A dish and festoon for soul mates of today.

“What a fascinating voice in every poem.” one fan commented after reading. Every poem is an outstanding piece the readers will relish in the real dish of deep and honest love, which is what Lullaby- A Collection of Poems and Stories all about. The poems have got a soul of love and affection and weep of lovers after departure from their soul mate. A great book to be read…for both the poem lovers and others. It is also a good handbook for travelers.

The book is full of emotion that is etched live like a painting on a vast canvass of love in glittering colors of real beauty. “Love is pure. It should be treated with its sanctity and modesty rather than today’s mechanical and aggressive approach to a passionate lover” the author added.

The time has changed but the soul and the heart of everyone still looking for great piece of love poems to re-read; that is what Lullaby-A Collection of Poems and Stories is about.

This is an outstanding collection of poems and stories that tells the pains of every heart from departure of its soul mate. Love is pure and untarnished. Its sanctity is ultimate like life. Without love, life is a bare arena. That is what the author concluded with the collection of his poems and stories. Life is incomplete without love and ones’ soul mate is the real one who bleeds in the other one’s departure. That pain cannot be explained but it is much deeper than an ocean- Love is perennial in the Book Lullaby – A Collection of Poems & Stories.

Tyrone Short’s newest book ‘Lord Why is Grandma Driving in the Left Lane?’

Leave a comment

In Tyrone Short’s newest book ‘Lord Why is Grandma Driving in the Left Lane?’ he expresses his views on one of America’s leading problems, ‘Grandma’ and the many foolish drivers that congest the left lane of our roads and highways.

Tyrone Short announces ‘Lord Why is Grandma Driving in the Left Lane?’ in conjunction with Lulu (www.Lulu), the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on demand books.

In his own words, “It is bad enough to have to deal with the volume of traffic during rush hour, but to have to deal with grandma and the many foolish drivers that flock and linger in the passing lane is despicable. It is amazing that our roads have not become one big battlefield.”

In his collective thoughts, Tyrone Short takes an introspective and risky stance at what may be considered a controversial topic for a Christian writer. Nevertheless, this thought provoking book is well-timed for what is going on in the nation today and it has the capability to transform many to a healthier and more productive outlook in regards to this issue.

Lord Why is Grandma Driving in the Left Lane is available for purchase at www.Lulu.com/PrinceTrog.
