Toronto, ON – Factory Sachi, a publisher specializing in children’s books, is delighted to share that “If I Was Born in…” has been named a Finalist in the prestigious 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (NGIBA). This recognition is an affirmation of Factory Sachi’s commitment to spreading love and understanding towards different cultures through engaging and educational children’s books.

“If I was born in…” takes children on a journey around the world, showcasing the unique customs and everyday life of various countries. By exploring what life might be like if they were born in a different part of the world, this book encourages children to appreciate cultural diversity and expand their horizons.

The author, Sachiko Otohata, is a Japanese expatriate who has traveled the world, having experiences like walking from Washington D.C. to Philadelphia with a group of monks, or picnicking on a bridge every weekend in Paris with friends. She’s now happily settled in Canada with her husband and son. Drawing from her rich life experiences, she has found inspiration from friends all over the globe, learning about their unique perspectives. This exposure to diverse cultures and people sparked her desire to foster empathy and understanding in young readers, leading to the creation of her books. Sachiko invites you to share her writing with your little ones at bedtime, storytime, or anytime and perhaps even share some of your own exciting stories along the way!

In addition to “If I Was Born in…”, Factory Sachi also offers “World Languages for Kids,” introducing young readers to different languages spoken across the globe. With its interactive approach, “World Languages for Kids” makes learning a new language both enjoyable and accessible.

Both books, perfect for children aged 3 to 8, are available for purchase at major book retailers, and Amazon.

Factory Sachi is steadfast in their mission of producing high-quality children’s books that promote understanding, empathy, and global awareness. By introducing young readers to the rich tapestry of world cultures and languages, they aim to foster a sense of global community and inspire the next generation of compassionate, open-minded citizens.
