Hannah Burkhardt the founder of Fluent, writes the books from a pedagogical perspective. Stories intentionally introduce vocabulary and language to young learners and inquisitive minds. She illustrates most of the books herself and hired two exceptional former art students to Illustrate The Neighbours and Boujemaa Climbs A Mountain. This one-mom team works hard to create engaging and culturally relevant stories that capture the imagination of young readers.
