When Albert Whitman was founded more than a century ago, our goal was simple: make good books that kids want to read. Today, we continue this tradition, guided by a deeper mission to create stories that also educate and empower children. Together, we can create a safe space for kids to learn about themselves and their communities. We can promote empathy, inclusion, and personal responsibility. We can help children become global citizens, ones who seek to understand themselves and the world around them. When we put the right story in the right hands, we can inspire the next generation to make the future brighter for everyone. We hope you will join us in this important work.

15minutesNOW.com is a daily entertainment competition website which brings performers, viewers and a social community together in a vibrant media, marketing and merchandising environment. It takes the most exciting parts of performance, emerging talent, entertainment branding and personal passion – and brings all of it to a global audience through use of a robust online platform that builds community, content and commerce. It’s where YouTube meets American Idol + The Voice + Star Search + So You Think You Can Dance + Last Comic Standing and more. It’s 24/7/365 worldwide entertainment providing unprecedented exposure to the millions of performers who never “made it” yet in their quest to reach a mass‐audience; to billions of viewers who are passionate about music and entertainment; to an exploding community active in viewing, sharing and responding to original content of their peers; to major sponsors, advertisers and merchandisers who covet this audience and who look for new, breakthrough vehicles with which to be strategically aligned. The world is fascinated with reality TV Shows, Talent Competitions, and online User Generated Content. Almost all watch, the majority critique, and some are lucky enough to make it onto a show. A few might even attract a following with their on‐Television or on‐line appearances. However, many talented performers either cannot break through, be seen, or just don’t have the opportunity to be seen or heard. Often, those who do make it onto a competition show are chosen less for their talent and more so by the producer’s image of what will make for an entertaining season. At that, being on or competing on a show alone does not translate to success or compensation for the performer. With TV series, and its economic model, only a limited number of competitors are taken and the competition process is drawn‐out. For those who are able to create a persona online, there are not many vehicles to mainstream opportunities such as Television, Film, Music Contracts, and the like. Premier Entertainment and Productions, Inc (PEP), owners of 15minutesNOW.com, is here to help performers be seen and heard; here to find the next great talent in every field and bring them their “15 minutes of fame” and more.

For that reason, we ensure that all of our fabrics are free of lead, phthalates, and flame-retardants. And beyond safety, we recognize that feel is just as important as fashion. We take great pride in sourcing only the softest cotton and muslin cloths. Kids move and play.

Brick Loot is a monthly subscription box company geared towards LEGO and brick lovers. Each month customers get a surprise box filled with bricktastic fun!Brick Loot was dreamt up by a then 9 yr old boy who has a deep love for everything LEGO. As he sat at his yearly garage sale selling toys to make enough money to buy more LEGO sets he recieved a box in the mail from a subscription company that he asked for his birthday. He was disappointed in the contents and wished it had more brick items. The light bulb went off and the business plan was created in his garage. With the help of his mom, they did a "shark tank" type presentation to dad to get funding. After lots of calculating and planning dad was in!Brick Loot boxes are for ages 6 - 99 yrs old and consist of items such as custom LEGO builds, Nanoblocks, OYO sports toys, Play Tape, Brick Studs, Brick Journal, Brick Popper, BrickStix, Minifigures and more. The idea is to help brick fans see what great products they can use to include with their LEGO and brick collections.
