Gryphon in Translation

The Gryphon Press is proud to have our titles translated into multiple languages, including Chinese, Spanish, French, and more. Our Spanish translation,"Rufo liberado,"has been used in numerous educational programs in South America. Our Chinese translations are a collaboration between our press and Professors Xuan Gu, Ph.D. and Bo Wang, Ph.D. from Shandong University in China, who translated and published under the title REAL, an acronym for Respect, Empathy, Appreciation for Life. REAL created foundation-sponsored programs called Kindness for All based on the ten-title “Kindness to Animals Picture Book Series,” translations of Gryphon titles.
