KIBOOMU - Music Making our Kids Smarter!

I am a singing mom! All my life, singing has been a large part of who I am and as a mom - I brought that to my children. Walking down the street and breaking into song was never unusual for me and they would join right in. Well, I am not alone! On Thursday July 29 at 2pm EST Wendy and Sherry, the founders of KIBOOMU join me to share their mission of making children smarter through music. KIBOOMU stands for Kids, Books & Multimedia, is their brainchild. Wendy was the founder and owner of KIDZUP, an award winning children's music and media publishing company based in Montreal, Canada. In 2004 was named one of Canada's top 100 woman entrepreneurs! Wanting to expand, Wendy bought Tormont Publications and met Sherry in 2006. Sherry was the Children's Book Publisher at Readers Digest Canada and had been the Marketing Director at Pearson Education, the biggest educational publisher in the world. Can you see the writing on the wall! They were destined to collaborate. Sherry joined Wendy at Tormont and they quickly became known as the "New Tormont". Then, as life does, things changed rapidly! In 2007 the CD market crashed, 2008 the biggest recession since the Great Depression hit and in 2009 Wendy moved to CA for her daughter Sara. Sherry became the President of KIDZUP/Tormont and then they sold the print side of the companies. Retaining the digital side of the company they wanted to use the years of experience they have to create fun educational products for children and in December of 2009 KIBOOMU Inc - their very own edu-tainment company began! There's is a story of new beginnings, hope, commitment and bold decisions and they are here to share them with us. Join us and find out more about these fascinating women!
