Follow on Google News | Change the World One Reader at a TimeTwo Colorado entrepreneurs are looking for your support in their mission to create a sense of adventure and curiosity in young girls.
By: Pack-n-Go Girls Designed by girls for girls who love to play and travel, Pack-n-Go Girls engages the imagination of children ages 6-9 by introducing them to different countries around the world. What inspired it all? “I was looking for some engaging travel toys or books for my daughter to take along on a trip, and all I could find were Bratz, Barbies, and princesses,” Thus began the adventure. The first Pack-n-Go Girls book was launched in December of 2013 with four more books launched in 2014 – in the countries of Austria, Mexico, and Thailand. Pack-n-Go Girls early chapter book adventures are packed with spooky mysteries, international friendships, and lots of fun and easy multicultural learning. In 2015, Pack-n-Go Girls has set its sights on expanding its market, taking the next steps to get the purse and dolls to market, and launching three more books. That’s where the Kickstarter campaign comes in. Project Kickstarter: Looking to take Pack-n-Go Girls to the next level, Janelle and Lisa just launched a campaign to get their next country series “kickstarted.” Backers of the Kickstarter campaign will help change the world one reader at a time. Their support will make it possible for Pack-n-Go Girls to do the following: Inspire little girls to go global. Help children explore new places around the world and learn about unique foods, customs, celebrations, and languages. A curious child is a learning child who becomes a curious and learning adult. Feed a child’s reading appetite. To engage young readers, the Pack-n-Go Girls Adventures combine an age-appropriate blend of text and illustrations that capture both the tension of the mysteries and the characters’ emotions. The books are Lexile rated at high second grade reading. Increase diversity in books for young readers. Diversity in young children’s chapter books is sorely lacking—with only 10% having any multicultural component, and yet the US population is 37% people of color. From the beginning of our Pack-n-Go Girls days, we knew we’d have an eclectic bunch of characters. You can’t write stories about international friendships without ethnic diversity. We realized early on, too, that we needed to reflect the US population. Our mission has been and always will be to expand the world for young readers so they can better understand the diversity of cultures and the richness each one contributes to the world. The Pack-n-Go Girls Adventures Kickstarter campaign runs May 26 through June 24, 2015. If the goal isn’t met by the end of the campaign, no funds exchange hands.
