In 2005, when I launched my first company, Bellwether Media, my singular mission was to help beginning and struggling readers acquire reading skills. From the outset, we’ve worked hard to create books that provided support and removed barriers for young readers. And our work has paid off. Blastoff! Readers and Torque Books can now be found in most libraries across the country. Thanks for your support!

Kaleidoscope is where fun storytelling meets bright design, sparking curiosity and confidence in young readers. From laugh-out-loud pun-filled picture books to silly graphic novels and fast-paced chapter series, Kaleidoscope celebrates fiction in all its forms—with a powerful focus on stories that build empathy and resilience. Whether it’s a nugget who embraces her quirks, a sports hero overcoming challenges, or magical creatures needing rescue, Kaleidoscope’s titles are packed with humor, heart, and imagination. Our books champion inclusivity, empathy, and empowerment with diverse characters, clever twists on classic tales, and read-aloud appeal that turns even reluctant readers into book lovers. Kaleidoscope delivers unforgettable reading experiences designed to entertain and inspire.
