Usborne
Books are fabulously illustrated, high quality educational books for
children. Usborne books begin for age nine months with board books and
touchy-feely books and reach adults with in depth information and
gorgeous layouts on topics ranging from art to geography, science and
history.
I have been with
Usborne Books & More since 1996 and became
a supervisor in October of 2000. I am pictured here, a national award winner, with Randall White,
our President, at the National Convention 2008.
