Update #7: Bosley Bear's News and Reviews!

Posted on February 8

Hey everyone,

So far this has been a good success and there have been so many people who have jumped in to help this project along. Currently, I have 72 backers (9 more than this morning!) and have reached 92% of my goal. I've gotten a lot of great feedback and the book has been featured on several blogs and gotten some great reviews. As a backer, I thought you might be interested in checking these out.

Check out what Mundie Kids' Reviews has to say about it:

Update #6: New backer reward! - Seven different translations

Posted on January 28

Since I've been able to get so many new translations of the book, it only makes sense to create a new reward for backers who want the book in each of the seven translations. Currently Bosley Sees the World is translated into:

Spanish
French
Italian
German
Russian
Mandarin Chinese
Arabic

If you're looking to get a copy of the book in each of these languages, I've added a backer reward for a $65 pledge that will get you seven copies of the book. You can choose to get them all in the same language or any combination of languages.

Remember that after the project is successful is when you will be requested to specify which translations you'd like. That day is soon approaching us as we are now only 2 weeks away from the deadline. I've got $1000 left to raise in those 2 weeks so I've got a lot of networking and press to do, but I'm determined to make it.

Just a reminder that if you decide you want copies of some of the new translations you are allowed to change your pledge amount now.

Update #5: Bosley now available in Arabic!

Posted on January 26

Arabic is one of the six official languages of the United Nations with over 450 million speakers*. I've just recently found a translator willing to help me translate the book into this popular language. This brings the count to 7 different languages you will be able to choose from:

Spanish
French
Italian
Russian
Chinese
German
Arabic

Remember that if you order more than one book, you can get your copies in different languages.

Also, I just published an article on the "Chalk Talk" blog about the importance and significance of teaching bilingualism to our children. So be sure to check that out - Chalk Talk is a blog created by April Larremore.

Thanks!

Tim
