How We Build Book Resource Pages

A book’s publication is just the beginning of its story. At Front Edge Publishing, we believe great media builds healthy communities and treat every book as a new opportunity to connect readers and authors to their community.

Inside every Front Edge Publishing book, you’ll find a website for additional resources, discussion and downloadable materials. Whether you’re interested in engaging your local discussion group in a conversation about nutrition or looking for some color book pages to join Sadie the Dog from Sadie Sees Trouble, check out the book resources below to learn about the Front Edge approach to community:

Robust, Resource-Packed Pages

Some of our resource pages for books are built to provide free supplemental resources for readers, ranging from discussion guides to coloring pages. Here are examples:

Early Learning with United Way for Southeastern Michigan

This page offers complete study guides readers can freely access from their phones, tablets or computers. We built this page to offer all six, free guides—which are used in community discussion groups—in a single display that provides an overview of the United Way bookshelf.

Sadie Sees Trouble

This page offers free downloads of coloring pages for the children’s picture book Sadie Sees Trouble. Sadie the dog is illustrated using colors found around the home and in the kitchen. Join Sadie in learning about the importance of taking a break from screen time. Want to learn more about the book, right now? Here’s a direct link to the book’s Amazon page.
