Edition type: hardcoverAge: 6-10Kindness, justice, honesty, freedom, courage, assertiveness, acceptance, wealth, and success are just a few of the themes explored in this book.
The stories in “What Matters Most" are, above all, an invitation to reflect and engage in conversation – whether with yourself, with me, or with loved ones. The same values can mean slightly different things to different people. Talking about them helps us understand this and, at the same time, avoid many misunderstandings. Whether you are six, ten, or – like me – fifty-two, I invite you to embark on one of life’s greatest adventures: discovering yourself so that you can consciously decide the kind of person you want to become.

Because the detail-rich illustrations promise fun for hours on end – discovering more and more fun, fantastical facts will absorb readers completely.
When my daughters were small, they believed that we weren’t alone in our house and that it was full of dwarves, fairies, gnomes and other tiny creatures.
I told them that we should look after this magical group of housemates and leave them milk – so the gnomes wouldn’t make mischief, the fairies wouldn’t eat all the sweets and the dwarves would polish our shoes. Can you guess how many times I got up at night and managed to step barefoot into a bowl of milk?

Edition type: boardbookAge: 0-10The small atlas of dinosaurs that you hold in your hands is still full of fun texts and charming illustrations, yet it’s different from the other books in the series. In their previous books, the writer-illustrator duo described nature that’s within reach: the birds and the butterflies from their garden, the cats and dogs they know, and the animals you can bump into in the forest. This time around, the authors want to take you on a journey to a world that no longer exists: who has ever seen live dinosaurs? And because science still doesn’t know everything about them, the authors walk us through prehistory along the trails of their imagination. And just as all of our imaginations are personal and individual, so are the portraits of the dinosaurs in the atlas. Perhaps one day researchers will decide these creatures looked altogether different? Or perhaps you imagine them differently?
