Stow, Oh-Twin Sisters®, a leading children’s book and music publisher, announced the launch of its new Twin Sisters Intellectual Property website www.twinsistersip.com.
Over the past 26 years, the company has continually proved its innovative ability to adapt to the digital environment and has prided itself in creating quality physical and digital educational materials for children- all that are accentuated by music.
“I realized the power of music at the beginning of my career while teaching my 1st and 3rd grade students,” said Kim Mitzo Thompson, president and co-owner of Twin Sisters®.
. “I found that the more I incorporated music on a daily basis, by singing spelling words, clapping out syllables and other engaging activities, the more my students excelled.”
During this time, Thompson and her fraternal twin sister Karen Mitzo Hilderbrand, CEO and co-owner of Twin Sisters®, realized that their talent in creating catchy, educational rhymes for kids could benefit children all over the world. The twins began writing, recording and publishing fun learning songs and books for learners from PreK- third grade.
Rare to publishing companies, Twin Sisters® owns and controls 100 percent of their intellectual property under Twin Sisters, IP, LLC. This IP collection includes thousands of songs and over 500 albums of fun songs, lullabies, soothing sounds, educational songs, bedtime songs, holiday songs and Christian songs; various teacher resources including workbooks, flashcards, leveled readers, dual-language readers and activity books; an eBook collection of over 150 classic, bedtime and Christian stories; and other fun products like floor puzzles, game cards, velvet art and more.
These products have received nearly 170 awards for age-appropriateness, quality and overall value from the Record Industry Association of America, National Parenting Publications Awards, Learning Magazine’s Teachers’ Choice Awards, Publishing Innovation Awards and others.
TwinSistersIP.com visually broadcasts Twin Sisters® music and books, making its IP easily accessible for potential licensing partners. Each product has its own page where viewers can experience the product by flipping through the pages of each book, listening to clips of the music, viewing the lyrics for each song and more.
“Our goal has always been to use music to inspire children to learn and excel,” Hilderbrand said. “We look forward to our new IP website creating more licensing opportunities that will help us to do just that.”
