Baby Board Books

Front Porch Publishing was hatched by Charleen Schurman, with the help of friend, confidant and fellow ‘philosopher-in-training’ Jody Jacobs, who together have spent many mornings on Charleen’s porch sipping coffee, while attempting to solve the world’s problems. Jody coined the phrase, “What’s said on Charleen’s porch - stays on Charleen’s porch!” and thus, most of their ingenious solutions evaporate with the last drop of java.

One project that did make its way off the porch, though, was Jody’s idea to create board books in the Mohawk (Kanien’kéha) language, to give parents and babies early learning tools. Tiny fingers can grasp the book and look at the beautifully illustrated pictures, while parents, tótas and babas read and sing to their children.

“Stoodis den,” said Charleen and with a grant from the Caisse Populaire Community Development Fund Circle of Giving, the Baby Board Book Project was off and running and Front Porch Publishing was born.
