      Pozoruhodná obrázková knižka z dielne kreatívneho autora. Vytvoril ju počas prvých dvoch mesiacov života svojho synčeka, keď rozmýšľal, ako mu jednoducho vysvetliť to najdôležitejšie o našej planéte. Najmä to, že ďalšiu Zem my ľudia nemáme, preto by sme sa mali k nej i k sebe navzájom správať ohľaduplne a s pokorou. Niektoré veci môžu byť na Zemi komplikované, iné môžu byť menej – napríklad byť k sebe milí. Začneme už dnes? Túto originálnu a úprimnú prehliadku po našej planéte si obľúbili deti na celom svete a kniha sa stala knižným bestsellerom. Pre deti od 4 rokov

      Jedného dňa si Daniel chcel kresliť so svojimi pastelkami, ale namiesto nich našiel zväzok listov. Pastelky sa naňho nahnevali a viac už nebudú mlčať! Červená mu píše, že je prepracovaná, ružová sa cíti zabudnutá, žltá s oranžovou sa rozhádali, ktorá je farba slnka, iná si sťažuje, že je na papieri neviditeľná. Daniel chcel, aby jeho kamarátky pastelky boli šťastné. Vtom dostal nápad, ako si s tým poradiť… Deti, fanúšikovia humorných knižiek či začínajúci umelci si môžu pri čítaní listov predstavovať svoje vlastné humorné rozhovory s pastelkami a smiať sa rovnako ako autori tejto knižky, ktorá získala viacero ocenení a stala sa medzinárodným bestsellerom.

    • Na rodine Brocketovcov nie je nič neobyčajné. Sú nudní, vážení a sú na to hrdí, ohŕňajú nos nad všetkým nezvyčajným a odlišným. Až do okamihu, keď prišiel na svet Barnaby Brocket, ktorý sa odmietal podriadiť zákonom gravitácie – on jednoducho lietal. Zúfalo chcel potešiť svojich rodičov, snažil sa zo všetkých síl ostať nohami na zemi, ale jednoducho to nešlo. Jeden osudný deň sa Brocketovci rozhodli, že toho majú dosť a nechajú svojho syna odletieť. Vystrašený, zúfalý a najmä osamelý Barnaby vletel do cesty jednému veľmi špeciálnemu teplovzdušnému balónu a tam sa začala jeho zázračná cesta okolo sveta.
