A sensitive picture book about fear, courage and self-confidence

As she did in her successful debut The Grand Hotel of Feelings, which has already been translated into over 20 languages, Lidia Branković takes children on an imaginative journey into their own emotional world in this lovingly illustrated picture book Circus of Shadows. Lika has no idea that her own shadow is a gateway to a magical world – until it starts to behave strangely. It grows, changes and leads her to a place where shadows dance and tell their own stories. But to return home, Lika must first learn to understand and accept her shadow. Because where there is darkness, there is also light. The book sensitively shows children aged 4 and up that difficult emotions such as fear or insecurity also have their place – and how we can accept them.

Playfully exploring big philosophical questions

In his children's book The Museum of Nothing, internationally renowned illustrator and designer Steven Guarnaccia (The Little ABC of Pasta) addresses a truly philosophical question: What is nothing? With his humorous story, he makes the abstract concept of the absence of something tangible in a fascinating way. Otto and Olga embark on a tour of a museum where the invisible becomes the star: from the popped soap bubble to Malevich's "White Composition" to Duchamp's "Paris Air". There's nothing to see here – and yet so much to discover!

A children's non-fiction book about the origins of book art

Following her bestseller The Lithographer, graphic artist and illustrator Gaby Bazin delves into the realm of typography and printing in her new children's non-fiction book: Clearly and in a child-friendly way, she explains in The Typographer how lead type, type cases and printing presses work. The loving illustrations immerse children in the centuries-old craft and show why typography is not just technology, but also art. Perfect for little explorers aged 6 and up who love to learn new things and be visually inspired.

Give children stories that make emotions tangible, stimulate the imagination and playfully convey knowledge. Because children need books that encourage them to understand their feelings, stay curious and discover the world with open eyes.
