Sigurd Mutt returns to Barcelona. Nearly thirty years have passed. Back then he was a young cryptozoologist determined, alongside his colleagues Belaire and Sjögren to unravel the mysteries of Hidden Naturalism and trace, against the dictates of official science, the track os dangerous animals and animals that no longer exist.
This picture book is ideal to help little people learn about independence. Little Elephant is a big boy, and he has an extremely important mission: to go ON HIS OWN to buy some of the finishing touches for Tortoise's hundredth birthday. What could go wrong? He only has to buy candles, chocolate, balloons... and he knows where he needs to go to get it all.
This is his first visit to the dentist and Yared, as every child, is frightened. This tale tries to show the children the importance of a good dental hygiene in order to have healthy teeth. It also helps them not to be afraid of going to the dentist.
Yared doesn’t like school: he thinks that it’s a boring place and he doesn’t understand why he has to go there every day. In this story, Yared will come to see school in a positive light, as a place where different things can happen each day, and where you can learn lots of things.
Yared learns what recycling is all about,
that when we drop useless objects into
those coloured bins on the street,
we give them the chance to start a new life.
And he wonders: Will it be the same
with all good things?
Throuhg Yared’s innocent and funny view, we revise in this story the road safety education. This brief tale tries to show the youngest readers how important it is to know and follow the rules, both as pedestrians and as drivers, if we want to arrive home safe and sound.
Yared has got new, somewhat weird, parents:
“a little faded, the colour of the full moon”,
grandparents, one brother and one sister.
This story talks about integration, acceptance,
of being just another member in the warm and happy
environment of a big family.
