“THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT LEARNING IS NOBODY CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU.” —B.B. KING

SPRING 2020 WAS A LESSON IN FLEXIBILITY! Schools around the world were faced with the complicated task of changing from in-school to online learning partway through the year, and we saw amazingly innovative strides from educators everywhere. Now, it’s time to look ahead.

For 20 years, we’ve been producing books that teach kids how to learn, whether they are immersing themselves in science, social issues, language arts, engineering— everything! How is Nomad Press pivoting to meet the needs of educators today? By making it as easy as possible to find what you need and get it in the hands of kids.

That’s why we’re sending you a digital catalog of new titles and old favorites.

These interactive books have proven themselves effective in opening up the world to students and showing them that learning happens everywhere.
