BIS Publications
Tel: +44(0)7903 791 469
Email: [email protected]
URL: http://www.bispublications.com/
Overview: “We are publishers of multicultural fiction and non-fiction children books. We came into existence after our research found that although there was vital need for African books and resources, it was not being fully catered for.
Which meant resources highlighting the African experience could not be found in homes, schools and libraries. With this in mind, BIS Publications sort to fill this very important gap. BIS Publications books promote cultural education amongst all communities, knowledge, inspiration, aspiration and information resulting in producing children with high self esteem, high self worth, pride in their heritage and most of all confidence.”
