That is not your Mommy Anymore – A Zombie Tale for Kids

What kid doesn’t like a good zombie story right before bed? Matt Mogk, founder of the Zombie Research Society, wrote a riveting children’s book called That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore. The book essentially teaches children the fundamentals on how to recognize a zombie outbreak and take steps to protect themselves. This could very well be

Where Children Sleep

From the mind of James Mollison comes a remarkable series capturing the diversity of and, often, disparity between children’s lives around the world through portraits of their bedrooms.

The Real Facebook – Brilliant Written Portraits Book Promotion

I can’t think of a better way to promote reading a book than this. Each year CPNB (Collective Promotion Dutch Literature) organises the Dutch Book Week to promote Dutch literature. Van Wanten Etcetera created the campaign, which shows the different faces behind the (auto) biographies. Anne Frank, Vincent van Gogh, Louis van Gaal and Kader

With texting while driving and walking becoming more and more hazardous to your health, perhaps a heads up display of an imminent impact is only suiting.
