C elebrating 60 Years OF BRINGING BOOKS TO LIFE n 1953, in a little log cabin in the back woods of Weston, Connecticut, Morton Schindel became fascinated with picture books while reading to his children. I He was inspired by their involvement and rapt attention to the stories and their illustrations, and their eagerness to listen to a story over and over again. And so, he began Weston Woods based on the following mission: “ It is our role to create audiovisual adaptations that are faithful reflections of classic children’s picture books. We seek the best books from all over the world and adapt them in such a way as to preserve the integrity of the original. By doing so, we help children discover the riches that are trapped between the covers of the books and motivate them to want to read for themselves.” Sixty years later, we are continuing this tradition. We have demonstrated that faithful picture book adaptations do succeed in whetting children’s appetites to turn and return to the books on which they are based, helping them to develop a lifelong love of reading and literature. Thanks to all of you from our entire staff for helping us make Weston Woods synonymous with quality, caring and the best for children!
