ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bertelsmann

Bertelsmann is like a big company that does a lot of things. It's kind of like a grown-up version of your toy box. You know how you have different toys in your box, like dolls, cars, and blocks? Well, Bertelsmann has different parts that do different things, like publishing books, making music, and even helping people find jobs.

Imagine your toy box is like the world, and Bertelsmann is trying to make it a little better by sharing all of its toys with everyone. When you read a book published by Bertelsmann, or listen to music produced by them, or even get help finding a job through one of their companies, it's like getting a special surprise gift from your toy box that makes you happy.

Bertelsmann is kind of like a grown-up Santa Claus, but instead of bringing presents just on Christmas, they're always trying to make the world a little bit better and happier all year round.
