Children’s Literary Classics is pleased to announce that the children’s picture book, The Green Children, by Kenny Chumbley and Jim McGuiggan and illustrated by Nadya Ruvinsky, has been selected to receive the Children’s Literary Classics Seal of Approval. The CLC Seal of Approval is a designation reserved for those books which uphold the rigorous criteria set forth by the Children’s Literary Classics review committee, a team comprised of individuals with backgrounds in publishing, editing, writing, illustration and graphic design.
Deep within the forest of Ballybogey lies a world so lovely, so entirely enchanting that one can scarcely imagine it. Therein dwells a host of fantastic beings called Otherfolk. The Otherfolk are unlike any people our world has ever known. Sure, there have been whispers of strange happenings and unusual beings, but few people can truly attest to their existence. So when two green children wander away from their home in Ballybogey, it stands to reason that people in the village nearby might be curious. But when curiosity and greed get the best of the situation, things may turn dire for our little green friends.
Kenny Chumbley and Jim McGuiggan have teamed up to pen an outstanding children’s picture book about the incredible bond that exists between the truest of friends. Interspersed within this tale is an underlying message that if we’re not careful, sometimes we may allow fear of others who are different from us to cloud our judgment. Eloquently penned and exquisitely told, The Green Children has much to offer young readers in this engaging tale which resonates with a powerful message of unconditional love.
The Green Children comes highly recommended for home and school libraries and has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval.
Children’s Literary Classics, an organization dedicated to furthering excellence in children’s literature, takes great pride in its role to help promote classic children’s literature which appeals to youth while educating and encouraging positive values in the impressionable young minds of future generations.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Newton, Illinois) Total Printing Systems has upgraded from a Kodak Nexpress 2100 Plus to a Kodak Nexpress SX3300. The installation started right before Christmas and the press was up and running by December 30th. This upgrade will provide multiple benefits to our clients.
“The 2100 Plus was a great press for us for the past 9 years, but imaging technology has improved over the years. The image quality I’ve seen coming off of the SX3300 is much smoother than we were used to on the 2100 Plus. That is primarily due to the upgrade to Kodak’s new HD Dry Inks. The smaller particle size really makes a difference. Probably the most important upgrade from a client’s perspective will be the expanded sheet length. The long sheet feeder will allow us to print up to a 14”x39” sheet much more cost effectively than we could before. This should help reduce turn times and increase image quality for case bound book covers and dust jackets.” states Rick Lindemann, Vice President of Total Printing Systems.
Additional benefits afforded by the upgrade include:
• Speed: The SX3300 prints over 40% faster than our 2100 Plus.
• HD Dry Ink technology expanded the color gamut of the press and really smooths images allowing for better solids and photo reproduction.
• The 5th color unit will now have the option for light black, which helps smooth and enhance all images even further, especially grayscales.
• The dimensional clear option for the 5th unit will add more tactile finishes to book covers without having to go through the time and expense of embossing or running textured stocks.
Total Printing Systems is committed to continued investment in equipment upgrades, as technology advances, to best serve our clients.
