Baby Abuelita -- the Miami-based company that makes DVDs, books and other toys based around its line of plush dolls that sing Spanish lullabies -- is going to school. The company's characters are being featured in a math textbook produced by education giant Houghton Mifflin Harcourt that will be distributed in Florida public schools later this year.
While the book deal is not a source of revenue for Baby Abuelita, it's marketing gold, said company CEO Carol Finster.
``I really see this as a statement about the depth and authenticity of our characters, and that our whole concept has more than just commercial appeal,'' Finster said. ``The exposure and the long term returns are immeasurable because textbooks are around for years.''
Baby Abuelita is also in ``advanced talks'' with a media partner about creating a television show based on its characters, she said.
Launched in 2005, Baby Abuelita won second place in the Miami Herald Business Plan Challenge that same year.
