For children7 and under, parents can findhundreds of books with simplestories, basic vocabulary, andpowerful images – in English.Not so in Armenian.Enter Juliette Davtian. Herclear vision: to give Armenianchildren a colorful and fun wayto see and hear stories in Armenian,to learn reading andcounting in Armenian, and torelate to the world around themin the Armenian language.“Children learn best throughcolorful images,” Ms. Davtiansaid. “They have differenttalents. As adults, we shouldrecognize children’s differentstyles of learning and interacting,and promote the bestpossible development of theirnatural strengths and weaknesses.”The magazine has colorfulartwork and will feature stories,poems, riddles, songs, cut-andpasteprojects, children’s cookingprojects, a bit of science,and more. Using classical Armenianspelling, the magazineis in both Eastern and WesternArmenian.Unique qualificationsA successful venture starts witha vision, but it requires muchmore. Ms. Davtian brings it allto the table: With an MBA andmarketing experience, she is betterqualified than most Armenianpublishers to run a magazine.With years of experience asa preschool teacher, ArmenianSaturday school teacher, andresident counselor for childrenand teenage girls, and a degreein psychology and child development,she is exceptionally wellprepared for the venture she hasstarted. Add to that some experiencein publishing, and youhave the whole package.Now it’s a matter of hardwork and enthusiastic communityresponse.“Starting a print publicationin the Armenian-Americancommunity, especially in a timeof economic uncertainty, is nota safe path to take, and severalpeople have kindly remindedme of this fact,” Ms. Davtiansaid.“At the same time, I have beentouched by the generous supportof several distinguishedmembers of our community.They understand that our communityneeds an excellentchildren’s magazine, and sharemy confidence that parents andchildren will be excited to haveGakavig in their homes everymonth.”Gakavig will be availablethrough several Armenianschools and in Southern Californiagrocery stores.
