WOCTO is one of a handful of small publishers for children in the San Diego region (www.WOCTO.com). Its mission is to present appealing, high-quality books, music, lesson plans, and activities to children, meant to nurture and encourage lifelong learning, creativity and fun. WOCTO’s vision is to operate its business in an ethical and socially responsible manner and have a positive impact on children, families and society.
The current collection of WOCTO books are printed in the US, utilizing soy-based inks. Books also have been tested for lead and comply with the recent Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. WOCTO books were featured in Baker & Taylor’s March 2009 Books for Growing Minds, a compilation of the newest selections in children’s literature. Last month, the Company announced that it will provide a set of  free grade-level lesson plans in core subjects, glossaries and flash games, and activities for kids online. All are complementary to the books.
Publisher Lin Jakary said she wanted to let the public know what one publisher was doing to help parents and teachers provide fresh educational materials in the down economy.
