Miami, FL (February 11, 2020) — Caribu, the award-winning video-calling and reading app for families, is partnering with the Bureau of Magic (BoM) content studio to build exclusive collaborations and bring their next award-winning IP to kids and families connecting across the globe. BoM’s previous series, Lost in Oz on Amazon Prime Video, won three Daytime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Children’s Animated Program.
Recently named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2019, Caribu integrates children’s picture books and coloring sheets into an interactive video-calling app that provides a truly engaging long-distance communication experience for families. Finally, children ages 0-7 can read, draw, and play games in a video-call. The app is available on the Apple and Google Play App Stores.
Max Tuchman, CEO & Co-Founder of Caribu said: “BoM’s storytelling strives ‘to inspire meaningful connections and bring people together’ so it was an easy decision to partner, and ensure their stories could be enjoyed by families separated by distance.”
“At the Bureau of Magic, we always strive to bridge divides, whether those are cultural, emotional, generational, or geographic,” said BoM Co-Founder, Jared Mark. “We love finding unique and innovative ways to connect with audiences. Teaming up with Caribu feels like a perfect fit, using the power of good stories to unite families and loved ones no matter where in the world they may be.”
Bureau of Magic’s upcoming animated series Dog Bird was recently honored as one of Kidscreen Magazine’s “Cool New Shows.” BoM’s first children’s book in the Dog Bird series, Dog Bird makes a new friend, by BoM Co-Founder Abram Makowka, is now available on Caribu.
