DINOFOURS are coming to Iraq!
 My Arabic Library by SCHOLASTIC is sending more than 7 million translated books to classrooms in Iraq, Bahrain, Jordan, Libya and Morocco. Dinofours together with The Magic School Bus and others will be the first books to fill the empty bookshelves in the Middle East. My Arabic Library, created by Scholastic and funded through the State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), provides classrooms with something many of them have never had: age-appropriate fiction and non-fiction books that help young students develop independent, critical thinking and reading skills.
Scholastic sells 25 million books nationwide by author/illustrator Hans Wilhelm
SCHOLASTIC has just been celebrating this incredible achievement. Many wonderful people have made this amazing milestone possible: Editors, art directors, secretaries, printers, sales staff, promotion staff, book stores, libraries, teachers, and - of course - writers like Steve Metzger, Jean Marzollo, James Preller, and Cheyette Lewison whose books Hans Wilhelm had the honor and pleasure to illustrate. With this message Hans Wilhelm wants to send a special THANK YOU to everybody who is involved in the making, selling, buying and sharing of his books - particularly teachers and librarians!
In the press release Judy Newman, Senior Vice President and Director of Scholastic Book Clubs said, “The secret of Wilhelm’s books has always been his ability to write about and illustrate very lovable characters which appeal to children of all ages. His titles are hugely popular and we are thrilled to be able to celebrate this monumental book sales with him.”
Although SCHOLASTIC is Hans Wilhelm’s main publishing house he has several other publishers who are releasing and selling his books here in America and all over the world. Today Hans Wilhelm is traveling extensively and meeting many of his readers in Europe, Asia and Africa during his lectures and workshops.
