Blackfish Children’s Books Facebook Party May 21st

We love to throw Facebook Parties as it is a great way to interact with everyone and hand out goodies!  On May 21st we will be hosting a Facebook Party sponsored by Blackfish Children’s Books.  I came across this company through Geek Club Books – you remember our fun facebook party last month with Jodi Murphy?!  Well, Blackfish Children’s Books is her developer and this company is quite unique in that they  have developed a digital platform for children’s books.   It integrates graphics, text, animations, music, and sounds into an interactive touch experience for mobile computing. It uses the most broadly customizable book engine. With the push of a button, all of the pages in a book can be instantly transformed to use a new main character or text can be adjusted throughout a book. Using their Customizabooks Engine, they work with publishers and authors to create digital interactive versions of their books. Many of their books have an unprecedented level of involvement in the storytelling process.

The Great Illustrators Project:

Tom Anderson, the cofounder of Blackfish Children’s Books has come out with a very unique app concept called The Great Illustrators Project.  When he explained it to me I had the thought that usually comes to mind when talking to creative types – why didn’t I think of that?  We will talk more about this groundbreaking idea at the party but basically, their new app will allow you and your children to create your own story (or eCard, eBook, storyboard, presentation, vacation scrapbook, etc.) easily and quickly using their library of professionally created images (see above for examples) and distribute it digitally everywhere. The illustrators that are part of this project are some of the best in the industry and have worked at Disney and others are up and coming illustrators.

We are so excited to share this fun concept with you all and will have some great items to hand out at the party!  See you there!
