Celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Teacher Appreciation Week
This is one festive week! Not only is it Cinco de Mayo today but also, this entire week allows us to appreciate all the hard work and dedication of our teachers! Of course we appreciate and applaud our teachers every day but it’s nice to have a dedicated week to celebrate them. And of course coming up on Sunday, May 9th is Mother’s Day. So there’s lots of reasons to celebrate and be proud!
With all the wonderful festivities in store it seemed like the perfect time for a SALE. From now until May 15th, all of our 9×11 Archival Art Prints from Maya’s numerous children’s books are on sale for $25. That’s a savings of $10! Plus 5% of our sales continue to be contributed to Children’s Book Press in support of their continuing commitment to providing first voice, multicultural, multilingual children’s books. We’ve even added some new prints to the mix just for the occasion. View our Etsy shop for available prints and to purchase.
Our art prints are printed on High Quality Archival Paper using Claria Archival Inks. Prints are individually signed by Maya and come with an insert which indicates what book the illustration was created for and includes information about the artist. Continue reading »
