About the Animal Who?

From adorable animals to rhyming text, Animal Who?, by Laura Bityou Beriau, is a must have for all bookshelves. In this delightful book, readers learn about their favorite animals through sing-song text and the use of 5w's & H (who, what, where, when, why & how). An ode to children's curiosity, this book invites all readers to embrace the joy of learning with its sweet illustrations and charming language. From its "To From" page to its personalized "Art Gallery" page, Animal Who? is a great gift and a great book where "lovely little readers can learn, learn, learn."

About the You and Me

In this heartfelt book, the author uses poetic devices and perspective to showcase how a parent and child relationship can be so full and so grand. Readers of all ages are transported into the progression of this relationship through the mirroring images and text. From every morning, every day, to every year, this book exudes a joyful message and cadence that makes it a fun read for everyone.

With its “This Belongs To” personalization page and personalized family photo frame outline, You and Me is the perfect gift for families, birthdays, and baby showers!

About the Author

Laura Bityou Beriau is driven to make a positive and lasting impact on others. As a first-generation Assyrian American, Laura learned an invaluable lesson from her parents: education is the only thing no one can take from you. This lesson resonated with Laura and ignited her passion for reading, writing, and equity in education.

Before writing children’s books, Laura dedicated her life to education as a teacher and school administrator. Now, she is a mother of two who is continuously inspired by the love of her children and husband and fueled by the relationships with her family and friends.
