Farmer’s Hat Productions™ Receives National Parenting Award
MINNEAPOLIS (February 5, 2008) – Farmer’s Hat Productions™ , a Minneapolis company created by two mothers of multi-racial children, has recently been nationally recognized for the second time by the renowned iParenting Media Awards. The company won the award in the “2008 Best Product” category for its fourth book, “Anna Goes Hiking”, and for its Anna Doll. Both products are included in the Bur Bur and Friends™ children’s series.
JoAnne Pastel and Kakie Fitzsimmons developed the Bur Bur and Friends series after they were unable to find books that illustrated today’s ethnically diverse society. The Bur Bur and Friends series reflects a multicultural cast of characters who educate kids about sports, active play and outdoor exploration through their experiences. The current series consists of four books “Bur Bur’s Boating ABCs,” “Bur Bur’s Fishing Adventures,” “Bur Bur Throws Out the First Pitch,” and “Anna Goes Hiking,” as well as the Anna Doll , Bur Bur Doll, and a Bur Bur and Friends jigsaw puzzle.
“We are very pleased to have the iParenting seal of approval for two more of our products,” said JoAnne Pastel, president and founder of Farmer’s Hat Productions. “We are honored to be recognized by such a distinguished organization. The reviewers for this award are people who would likely be implementing our products in their classrooms, homes and childcare facilities. It shows me that we are reaching our core audience and they are grasping our idea with enthusiasm.”
Established in 2003, the iParenting Media Awards serve as a consumer resource to identify the highest quality products for children. The organization reviews thousands of products each year. The awards are judged by three or more reviewers, including licensed childcare facilities, schools, product experts and parents. The Bur Bur and Friends series was selected on its creativity, appeal to children and colorful illustrations.
