Have you ever wondered what a shipment of 55,520 children’s books looks like?
Thank you Matt, Nelson, Celena, and Alexander for showing us!

Cool, right? (We love trucks, forklifts, and the beep-beep of behind the scenes!)

Also very cool: almost all of these 16 pallets of books are being given to military families—at no cost to the families—thanks to our collaborations with wonderful nonprofit, education, healthcare, and military family support organizations. We appreciate all you do for our military community, and we are grateful for your trust in our military family resources and logistics!

We also could not do what we do without our supply chain partners. Every day, we’re grateful for our awesome S3PL warehouse crew! Thank you, Thomson Press for this press run.

(This video is at 4x speed so we can answer the question in less than a minute. It’s okay though if you find yourself watching it again and again. Creating meaningful books isn’t the only fun part of being a book publisher!)

It’s finally here! 📚✨ This year’s Book for the Military Child, Home Moves With Me, is now available in the United Through Reading app!
