BABAR™
The classic children's tales of the adventures of Babar the Elephant
Introduced in 1931, generations have been charmed by the heartwarming stories of Babar and his family in Celesteville. The first book, The Story of Babar, has over 30 sequels. The award-winning TV series is seen in 150 countries: twice daily on HBO Family in the U.S.A.; in Canada, nine times weekly on Treehouse Television and weekly on Knowledge Network and TV Ontario. Millions of Babar books with more than 1000 titles have been sold worldwide, and more than 30,000 different publications have been based on Babar. Among his most high profile activities, Babar is the king of the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the White House in the U.S., and Stanford University of California honored Babar by naming a particle accelerator after him.
Starting at the end of September 2003, Barnes & Noble featured Babar in the front of each of their stores throughout the entire U.S.A. In addition, on September 2, 2003, NPR's "All Things Considered" broadcast a fabulous interview, by host Robert Siegel, with author Laurent De Brunhoff.
The interview can be heard at: http://www.npr.org/rundowns/segment.php?wfId=1418287.
The two talk about Brunhoff's history and his new book, Babar's Museum of Art, which is a beautiful and playful look at the world's greatest masterpieces of art.
The live Babar appearances consist of a story time with a captivating host, reading and involving children in Babar stories. The host is joined by a life-sized Babar, who interacts with the story. At the end of the story, children are invited to meet Babar and receive an autograph.
Three new books released in fall, 2003:
Babar's Museum of Art, Babar and the Christmas House, and Babar Goes to School

Martha
Montoya
Creator and Director
"She is blazing new pathways - a new frontier for the Hispanic business community."
The Wall Street Journal
Founder of LBS Services, cartoonist and creator of the award winning comic strip, Los
Kitos™, Martha Montoya is the Chair of the largest Latino Business Owner Expo in the
country. Born in Bogota, Columbia, Montoya achieved success holding key international
management positions with agricultural firms importing from Latin America and
becoming a recognized speaker on international source issues. She is currently the Chair
of the Latin Business Association.
With persistence of divine proportions, Montoya pursued her dream of becoming a
successful cartoonist. She created the cartoon strip, Los Kitos™, ("little dolls") to serve as a
vehicle for helping immigrants assimilate into a new society. Today Los Kitos™ is featured in
over 305 newspapers in 17 countries worldwide and has won scores of awards. A radio
show and live stage show presents bilingual entertainment throughout the U.S. Montoya
has finalized negotiations for a 26-episode animated television series based on her
characters. In addition, U.S. corporations and institutions, including Bank America Corp.
and the U.S. Postal Service, use the Los Kitos™ figures to serve as a gateway between
themselves and the Hispanic market. Companies use the characters to inform their Spanish-
speaking customers about services ranging from using an automated teller machine, to addressing
an envelope. Stores nationwide sell merchandise featuring the comic strip characters - items
ranging from shoes, T-shirts and watches, to cups of ready-to-eat gelatin.
Martha Montoya's lecture programs are insightful, educational and inspirational, like the woman
herself.
