Trajectory, Inc. today announced at the Bologna Children's Book Fair, a new partnership with The People's Education Press Ltd. (PEP) that brings the company's award winning Close to the Great Society Series into Trajectory's worldwide eBook and app channels.

This set of seven eBooks depicts a colorful fairytale world that is home to various kinds of young animals. Some of the characters are clumsy and some are simple and honest. Others are smart and some quite naughty. All together, they are a group of nice and naive kids experiencing life in their own way of growing up. Within the seven eBooks are nineteen interesting and instructive fairy tales. The illustrations are moving and poetic with a wonderful artistic appeal. Lv Lina who is known in China for stories themed with a focus on children's development is the highly respected author.

Published for the first time digitally, Close to the Great Society Book Series incorporates Lina's intellectual and passionate style. Her fairy tales shine a light on poetic wisdom, human nature, and gentle limpid purity. The illustrations are by Sun Yiwei and Yuan Ruifang. Their fresh and interesting forms of expression provide vivid pictures full of images that hold a child's interest and convey elements of the rich contemporary Chinese culture.

Features and applications of the eBook include:

  • Brilliant original contemporary Chinese art illustrations.
  • English, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese versions will be produced.

"Being a leading children's text book publisher in China, we also offer a large variety of story and activity books to young readers in China.
