The official language in both countries is English.
Unlike many other former colonies, the US did not adopt UK’s hand alphabet.

New Zealand, Australia and India (amongst others) use the two handed manual alphabet.

The official language in both countries is Portuguese.
Unlike many other former colonies, Brazil did not adopt Portugal’s version of its hand alphabet.

Fingeralphabet Cool KIDS – The Mermaid Series – was announced a while back on this and other sites.

After many meetings and test-illustrations I am happy to tell you that the first ebook with the German manual alphabet will be coming out this autumn. Yipiey!!!

The rest of the available manual alphabets will be added until Christmas.

At present times no print version is planned.
This is due to the fact that our rather small target group requires the publisher to use print-on-demand services. The color PoD books are still either of bad paper quality or too expensive in unit-costs.

So, instead of charging a lot of money for books of rather mediocre quality we are opting to wait for better terms. It might happen in 3 months, in 1 year or in 3 years, we do not know, but we know it will happen eventually, as more and more large and small publishers are shifting their production processes towards print-on-demand.

I think it is worth to wait a bit.
I hope you agree.
