It has been a whilrlwind year for El Gecko Publishing, with the printing of two new books, as well as various other reprints and new products being launched – and we’re not finished yet!<\/p>

Keeping the hamster wheel spinning at a crazy speed, we have just gone to print with our first illustrated children’s book, Santa’s New Helpers<\/strong>. This is book 1 in Max Hoppe and Theresa Hardman’s new Tales from the Waterhole<\/a><\/em> <\/a>series, which we will be rolling out in future. We are particularly thrilled that it will be coming out in 3 languages, namely English, isiXhosa and Afrikaans. This makes it a wonderful tool for helping kids to learn other official languages, as they can compare pages and understand what is being said in each language.<\/p>

Next time, I’ll introduce our growing team<\/a>, who have made all this growth possible.<\/p>
