About Us
Little Owl Smart Books is the specialized educational imprint of Dedunna Publishers, specifically designed to bridge the gap between traditional print literacy and modern digital learning for children.
As a core part of your publishing portfolio, the brand focuses on the following key pillars:
1. Educational Focus
The imprint specializes in high-quality supplementary educational materials. This includes the development of a three-tier book series designed specifically for school leavers in Sri Lanka to improve their English proficiency after their Advanced Level examinations.
2. Integration of Vedic Mathematics
One of the most unique aspects of Little Owl Smart Books is the focus on Vedic Mathematics. You have developed a dedicated series for primary-aged children that utilizes these ancient mathematical techniques to help them perform calculations faster and with greater mental agility, making math more engaging and less intimidating for young learners.
3. The "Smart" Technology Edge
True to its name, the imprint is not limited to paper. It is integrated with the Little Owl Smart Books App. This digital ecosystem allows for:
Interactive Learning: Moving beyond static pages to digital exercises.
Multimedia Integration: Supporting the physical books with audio and visual aids to help with pronunciation and complex concepts.
Accessible Infrastructure: Leveraging your background as a Software Engineer to ensure the app’s infrastructure is robust enough to support national-level distribution.
4. Bilingual Literacy
Consistent with your work as a translator, Little Owl Smart Books emphasizes bilingualism. By offering content in both Sinhalese and English, the imprint helps Sri Lankan children become globally competitive while maintaining a strong foundation in their mother tongue.
5. Social Commitment
While it is a commercial imprint, the spirit of "Smart Books" also extends to your inclusive initiatives. The technical and creative standards used for Little Owl are also applied to your Braille book production, ensuring that educational innovation reaches visually impaired children through the "Dedunna Braille" project.
