2. Collaboration between ADC Kid and
Hampton Publishing House, LLC
In November 2015, ADC Kid and Hampton
Publishing House, LLC started meeting
monthly due to a common goal of working
with children. Each company realized that
the other company had the same amount a
dedication to helping children excel in
reading through imagination, education,
and health initiatives.
It is the hope of each entity that children
are empowered to read books, interact with
their favorite authors, and live a healthy
lifestyle while doing so. This Children’s Book
Festival is one of many initiatives that the
state of New Jersey will see from these
companies in regards to educating the
youth.
