  2. Bruno and Pupo by the lake with the orange tent; Doctor Fossil in the cabin door points at storm clouds. By the lake, Bruno and Pupo were putting up a tiny orange tent, because tonight the fireflies would come. Pupo peeped with joy. But clouds rolled over the hills, and Doctor Fossil said, “A storm's coming — tonight the tent sleeps in my cabin.” PEEP!

    PEEP!

  3. In the cabin stands the tent; Bruno has his spiky dino hood over his eyes while rain and lightning fill the window. The tent now stood inside the cabin. “Fireflies, where are you?” Bruno whispered, but outside there was only thunder. Bruno pulled his spiky dino hood over his eyes: “I'm an armoured dinosaur, I'm not scared!” Just then, someone knocked at the door: knock, knock. BOOM!

    BOOM!

  4. A huge wet Rexo head under a leaf fills the doorway; then Bruno whispers to him. At the door stood Rexo, the biggest dinosaur in the valley, and only his head fit through. “May I come in too, when thunder is even bigger than me?” he whispered, wobbling like a jelly. Bruno looked at him, pushed back his hood and whispered, “I'm a teeny bit scared too — come closer.” BOOM!

    BOOM!

  5. Rexo's head by the tent glowing like a pumpkin; Bruno holds up two fingers and Pupo peeps. Rexo tucked his back and tail under the woodshed roof. Bruno switched on his lamp, and the tent glowed like a pumpkin. “When it booms, we count: one, two…” Bruno began, but Pupo peeped right in. “That's not three!” laughed Rexo. PEEP!

    PEEP!

  6. Bruno puffs out his cheeks for a Boomlet while Rexo laughs with his eyes shut. Thunder rumbled again. Bruno puffed out his cheeks and rumbled in a tiny voice: “Boomlet!” Rexo snorted with laughter and begged him to do it again. BOOMLET!

    Thunder rumbled again. Bruno puffed out his cheeks and rumbled in a tiny voice: “Boomlet!” Rexo snorted with laughter and begged him to do it again.

    BOOMLET!

  7. Rexo sleeps with a blanket on his nose as fireflies glow outside; at home Mum laughs at Bruno's Boomlet while vacuuming. ZZZZ! Then the rain stopped, the thunder wandered off over the hills, and hundreds of fireflies rose above the lake. The biggest dinosaur in the valley didn't see them, because he was asleep, so Bruno tucked a blanket over his nose. A few days later at home the vacuum cleaner roared, Bruno puffed out his cheeks — “Boomlet!” — and Mum burst out laughing.

Topic
fear and small steps
Note
“In a storm he hides under the duvet and calls us at night. We don’t want to tell him not to be scared.”

There’s no duvet and no night at home in the story. Someone much bigger than Bruno is scared, and Bruno is there with him.

Nobody in the story spells out the lesson — it’s in what the characters do.

The Cocoa Map

Lina, Oto and Pebble the gnome set off to where no one has ever been, lighting the tunnels with silly songs — but at a fork, a piece of the map is missing.

Sample — made-up child

  1. Cover: Lina holds a glowing lantern in a sparkly tunnel, Oto beside her with a map and Pebble the gnome singing on a rock.

    The Cocoa Map

    A book for Lina

  2. In the morning Oto shows his first map, Pebble pats it with cocoa fingers, Lina secretly folds it into a boat and the corner floats away down the stream. The morning before a trip to where no one had ever been. Oto: My first map! I copied it from the old miners — signs and all. Oto: I hope it's good. Pebble: Oops. Cocoa fingers. Iskra: If the lantern goes out, light it from a stone that glows by itself. Lina (thinks): Just a little boat. I'll unfold it right away. RIIIP!

    The morning before a trip to where no one had ever been.

    Oto: My first map! I copied it from the old miners — signs and all.

    Oto: I hope it's good.

    Pebble: Oops. Cocoa fingers.

    Iskra: If the lantern goes out, light it from a stone that glows by itself.

    Lina (thinks): Just a little boat. I'll unfold it right away.

    RIIIP!

  3. Iskra ties a rope to Oto, the children enter the sparkly tunnel, Pebble sneezes and the lantern goes out; when Pebble sings, the crystals glow. Iskra: I'll stay here and let out the rope. Tug it, and I'll come. Oto: Got the map. Let's go! Pebble: Hee-hee-hee! Sparkles! Hee-hee… Oto: Watch out! When he laughs, he sneezes. ACHOOOO! Pebble: It's dark like a sock, like a sock… Oto: They glow! When he sings!

    Iskra: I'll stay here and let out the rope. Tug it, and I'll come.

    Oto: Got the map. Let's go!

    Pebble: Hee-hee-hee! Sparkles! Hee-hee…

    Oto: Watch out! When he laughs, he sneezes.

    ACHOOOO!

    Pebble: It's dark like a sock, like a sock…

    Oto: They glow! When he sings!

  4. Everyone sings and the tunnel glows; at a fork of five tunnels Oto finds the map's corner missing and suspects Pebble; Lina stays quiet, squeezing her stone. Oto: I'm scared of butterflies, even small ones! Lina: I ate a worm by accident, in salad! Oto: Who tore my map?! Oto: Cocoa fingers… Pebble? Pebble: I… I only patted it.

    Oto: I'm scared of butterflies, even small ones!

    Lina: I ate a worm by accident, in salad!

    Oto: Who tore my map?!

    Oto: Cocoa fingers… Pebble?

    Pebble: I… I only patted it.

  5. Lina leads them into a dead end and sings far too loudly; Pebble sits silent in the dark, Oto wants to turn back and Lina remembers the boat floating away. Lina: This way! Definitely! Oto: A wall. Great. Lina: Tra-la-la, everything's great, tra-la-la! Oto: Without Pebble it's like a torch with no battery. Oto: Five tunnels and a map with no corner. We have to go back.

    Lina: This way! Definitely!

    Oto: A wall. Great.

    Lina: Tra-la-la, everything's great, tra-la-la!

    Oto: Without Pebble it's like a torch with no battery.

    Oto: Five tunnels and a map with no corner. We have to go back.

  6. Lina owns up, Oto gets cross, Pebble asks if the boat floated; Lina draws the tooth from the map and, as Pebble hums, they find the tooth-shaped crystal. Lina: It wasn't Pebble. It was me. I folded the map into a boat and it tore. Oto: A boat? Out of my first map?! Pebble: …Did it at least float? Lina: There was a crystal on the corner. Like a tooth. Oto: The tooth is the old miners' sign! It points the way. Pebble: The tooth is pointing, the tooth is pointing… Oto: This way!

    Lina: It wasn't Pebble. It was me. I folded the map into a boat and it tore.

    Oto: A boat? Out of my first map?!

    Pebble: …Did it at least float?

    Lina: There was a crystal on the corner. Like a tooth.

    Oto: The tooth is the old miners' sign! It points the way.

    Pebble: The tooth is pointing, the tooth is pointing…

    Oto: This way!

  7. In the Singing Hall Lina lights the lantern from a glowing stone, by the pond they find her boat with the missing map corner, and after Pebble's sneeze a little door moves. Lina: A stone that glows by itself! And a place no one's ever been! Lina: No one's ever been here… except my boat. Oto: My corner! Door and all. Pebble: Hee-hee-ACHOO! …achoo… achoo… Oto: The door… moved.

    Lina: A stone that glows by itself! And a place no one's ever been!

  2. In the morning harbour Kotva shows a piece of the map for the winner of the race; cousin Maťo brags and Echo the parrot repeats the last word; Ema rolls down the ramp in her wheelchair to the raft Bubble and gets ready with Kubo next to Maťo’s Shark. Pirate Island. Once a year, kids race here for a piece of the Great Map. Kotva: Whoever rings the buoy bell by the lighthouse first gets this piece. Maťo: I’ll win, cousin. Like always. Echo: …ALWAYS! Ema: Echo repeats the last word. Any old word. Echo: …WORD! Kubo: Knots are done, Captain. Ema: Then raise the sail! Kubo: Maťo’s oars are twice as big. Ema: And we’ve got bubbles.

    Ema: Then raise the sail!

    Kubo: Maťo’s oars are twice as big.

    Ema: And we’ve got bubbles.

  3. The race starts: Maťo rows hard and takes the lead, Ema notices bubbles spinning to the left, finds a current and Bubble overtakes Shark; behind the lighthouse the Devil’s Pull glitters. TOOOOT! Maťo: Bye-bye, snails! Ema: The bubbles spin left. There’s a current! Maťo: Hey! That’s cheating! Echo: …CHEATING! Kubo: A current isn’t cheating. It’s free! Ema: And behind the lighthouse is the fastest one. Kubo: Not that one, Captain. That one’s devilish.

    TOOOOT!

    Maťo: Bye-bye, snails!

    Ema: And behind the lighthouse is the fastest one.

    Kubo: Not that one, Captain. That one’s devilish.

  4. Ema gazes at the Devil’s Pull and Bubble leads by a whole raft; Ema turns round to tease Maťo, pulls the tiller with her and Echo jumps onto her head — the raft goes round the buoy on the wrong side. Ema: The Devil’s Pull. No one’s ever dared go in. Kubo: Today we’re going to the buoy, Captain. Kubo: We’re ahead! By a whole raft! Ema: Maťo! Say hi to the fish! Echo: …FISH! FISH! Ema: Echo! Stop! Echo: …STOP!

    Ema: The Devil’s Pull. No one’s ever dared go in.

    Kubo: Today we’re going to the buoy, Captain.

    Kubo: We’re ahead! By a whole raft!

    Ema: Maťo! Say hi to the fish!

    Echo: …FISH! FISH!

    Ema: Echo! Stop!

    Echo: …STOP!

  5. Maťo rings the buoy bell first and Ema two seconds after him; Ema sits silent with clenched fists, then blames the parrot, and Echo points his wing straight at her. DING! Maťo: Fiiirst! ding. Kotva: Maťo. By two seconds. Ema: It’s that parrot! Echo: …PARROT!

    DING!

    Maťo: Fiiirst!

    ding.

    Kotva: Maťo. By two seconds.

    Ema: It’s that parrot!

    Echo: …PARROT!

  6. At the lighthouse Maťo gets the piece of the map but can’t read it and asks Ema for help; Ema admits she lost and takes a look; everyone rides the lift on the side of the lighthouse, Ema in her wheelchair, and from the gallery Ema uses the rings on the map to find the Devil’s Pull. Maťo: What are these snails? Where’s the treasure? Maťo: …Ema? You can read currents. Ema: I lost by two seconds. Two! Ema: …Show me. Kotva: You’ll see the currents from up there. Ema: Turn it, Kubo. Turtle Rock is over there. Ema: Three rings and one long slide… the Devil’s Pull! Maťo: In there? …I’m not going.

    Ema: Turn it, Kubo. Turtle Rock is over there.

    Ema: Three rings and one long slide… the Devil’s Pull!

    Maťo: In there? …I’m not going.

  7. Ema decides to go into the Devil’s Pull and tow Maťo; everyone laughs on the ride, but on a bend Maťo’s bow knot comes undone; Ema turns the raft to him, Kubo throws a loop onto the fin and Maťo’s oars pull them out into calm water. Ema: The map goes that way, so we go that way. We’ll tow you. Maťo: …Fine. But I carry the map. Maťo: I know knots. A bow always holds. Kubo: …Always? Echo: …ALWAYS! Ema: It’s only a little pull! Kubo: LITTLE?! Maťo: Woo-hooo! Ema: Oops. It’s bigger than I thought! Maťo: The bow came undone! Ema: I’m turning toward him! Kubo, the loop! Kubo: Now that’s a knot. Maťo: And these are oars!

    Ema: The map goes that way, so we go that way. We’ll tow you.

    Maťo: …Fine. But I carry the map.

    Maťo: I know knots. A bow always holds.

    Maťo: The bow came undone!

    Ema: I’m turning toward him! Kubo, the loop!

    Kubo: Now that’s a knot.

    Maťo: And these are oars!

  8. The current carries them into a hidden lagoon with an old wreck; Ema pulls a chest out of the hatch with a hook, Maťo finds a second piece of the map inside and Ema suggests a rematch; then a voice from the wreck says “Say hi to the fish”. Kubo: This isn’t on any map. Ema: Then draw it, Kubo! Maťo: I can’t reach! Ema: Kubo, the hook! And keep us by the wreck. Ema: Next one’s by Whale Island. Rematch? Maťo: Rematch! Echo: …REMATCH! Voice from the wreck: …Say hi to the fish… Kubo: That… wasn’t Echo. Ema: I shouted that. At the buoy.

    Kubo: This isn’t on any map.

    Ema: Then draw it, Kubo!

    Maťo: I can’t reach!

    Ema: Kubo, the hook! And keep us by the wreck.

Maťo: Bye-bye, snails! Ema: The bubbles spin left. Kubo, there’s a current! Maťo: Hey! That’s cheating! Echo: …CHEATING! Kubo: A current isn’t cheating. It’s free!

  4. Ema wants to go through the Devil’s Pull one day; Bubble is ahead, Kubo turns round to tease Maťo, lets go of the sail rope and Echo lands on his head, so the raft goes round the buoy the wrong way. Ema: The Devil’s Pull. One day I’ll go through it. No one’s ever dared. Kubo: Today we’re going to the buoy. Kubo: We’re ahead! By a whole raft! Kubo: Maťo! Say hi to the fish! Echo: …FISH! FISH!

  6. Maťo gets the map piece but can’t read it and asks Kubo; Kubo lets out a breath, they ride the lift up the lighthouse and Kubo turns the map to match Turtle Rock — the route goes through the Devil’s Pull. Maťo: What are these snails? Where’s the treasure? Ema: If those are snails, they’re really fast ones. Maťo: …Kubo? You draw maps, right? Kubo: We lost by two seconds. Two! Kubo: …Show me. Ema: They’re currents. But which ones? The sea’s full of them. Kotva: You’ll see the currents from up there. Kubo: Turtle Rock is over there. So the map goes like this! Ema: Three rings and one long slide… the Devil’s Pull! Maťo: In there? …I’m not going.

  7. Kubo copies the route into his notebook, grabs Ema’s wheelchair in a hurry and Ema tells him he’s captain of the raft, not of her wheels; in the Devil’s Pull Maťo’s bow comes undone, Kubo throws a loop and Maťo pulls hard on his oars. Kubo: The map goes that way, so we go that way. Maťo, we’ll tow you. Maťo: …Fine. I carry the map. And I’m tying the rope with a bow. Ema: The Devil’s Pull at last! Kubo: Quick, before Maťo changes his mind! Ema: Kubo, you’re captain of the raft. Not of my wheels. Kubo: Follow the route! Right at the rock! Ema: Got it! It’s only a little pull! Maťo: Woo-hooo! Ema: Oops, too sharp! I’m turning toward him! Maťo: The bow came undone! Kubo: I’ll throw a loop! Kubo: Now that’s a knot. Maťo: And these are oars!

    Kubo: The map goes that way, so we go that way. Maťo, we’ll tow you.

    Maťo: …Fine. I carry the map. And I’m tying the rope with a bow.

    Ema: The Devil’s Pull at last!

    Kubo: Quick, before Maťo changes his mind!

    Ema: Kubo, you’re captain of the raft. Not of my wheels.

    Kubo: Follow the route! Right at the rock!

    Maťo: The bow came undone!

    Kubo: I’ll throw a loop!

    Kubo: Now that’s a knot.

    Maťo: And these are oars!

  8. Beyond the pull they find a wreck that isn’t on any map; Ema hooks out a chest with the next piece of the map and Maťo and Kubo agree to a rematch; from the wreck comes a voice: “Say hi to the fish”. Kubo: This isn’t on any map. I’m drawing it! Ema: Draw fast. The tide won’t wait. Maťo: I can’t reach! Ema: Kubo, the hook! And keep us by the wreck. Kubo: Next one’s by Whale Island. Rematch? Maťo: Rematch! Echo: …REMATCH! Voice from the wreck: …Say hi to the fish… Ema: That… wasn’t Echo. Kubo: I shouted that. At the buoy.

    Kubo: This isn’t on any map. I’m drawing it!

    Ema: Draw fast. The tide won’t wait.

    Kubo: Next one’s by Whale Island. Rematch?

    Maťo: Rematch!

    Echo: …REMATCH!

    Voice from the wreck: …Say hi to the fish…

    Ema: That… wasn’t Echo.

    Kubo: I shouted that. At the buoy.

What the parent added

Topic
losing and mistakes · a friend who uses a wheelchair
Note
“When he loses at football or a game, he cries and says he’ll never play it again. No punishment — we want him to be able to lose and keep playing.” And in the story: a friend who uses a wheelchair.

There’s no football in the story. Kubo loses by two seconds. Ema is a friend with her own goal — nobody makes a thing of the wheelchair, and when Kubo grabs it in a hurry, Ema says one sentence.

Nobody in the story spells out the lesson — it’s in what the characters do.

Sample — made-up child

  1. Cover: Tobi in a checked blanket cape and swimming goggles pulls a row of spoons through the air with his magnet, sceptical Lota in a yellow raincoat with a pigeon on her head beside him, the Signal tower and the little round robot Gluey behind them.

    Magnet

    A book for Tobi

  2. On the base roof Tobi pulls seven spoons with his magnet; the Tower Keeper says the robot Gluey is gluing up the city and whoever brings it back joins Team Signal; Tobi has to go with new girl Lota, who has Coo-Coo the pigeon on her head. Hero City. Every kid here has one power. Tobi’s is a magnet. Tobi: Seven spoons at once. New record! Tower Keeper: Professor Mishap’s robot Gluey has escaped. It’s gluing up the city. Tower Keeper: Whoever brings it back by sunset joins Team Signal. Tobi: Finally. Two years on the bench. Tower Keeper: You’re going with Lota. She’s new. Lota: Hi. This is Coo-Coo. He says your goggles are weird. Tobi (thinks): Great. A newbie and a pigeon.

    Hero City. Every kid here has one power. Tobi’s is a magnet.

    Tobi: Seven spoons at once. New record!

    Tower Keeper: Professor Mishap’s robot Gluey has escaped. It’s gluing up the city.

    Tower Keeper: Whoever brings it back by sunset joins Team Signal.

    Tobi: Finally. Two years on the bench.

    Tower Keeper: You’re going with Lota. She’s new.

    Lota: Hi. This is Coo-Coo. He says your goggles are weird.

    Tobi (thinks): Great. A newbie and a pigeon.

  3. In a park full of glue repairs Tobi pulls at Gluey with his magnet, but the robot sticks to a lamp post and Tobi skids straight towards it; Gluey escapes and Professor Mishap runs past with a butterfly net. Lota: Coo-Coo says Gluey is behind the fountain. Tobi: I know. I can see it. Tobi: It’s metal. One pull and it’s mine. SKID! Lota: Tobi, you’re flying towards it! Professor Mishap: Gluey! Stop! Sorry, kids! Tobi: I knew that. Well… almost.

    Lota: Coo-Coo says Gluey is behind the fountain.

    Tobi: I know. I can see it.

    Tobi: It’s metal. One pull and it’s mine.

    SKID!

    Lota: Tobi, you’re flying towards it!

    Professor Mishap: Gluey! Stop! Sorry, kids!

    Tobi: I knew that. Well… almost.

  4. At the market Lota listens to the pigeons: Gluey isn't breaking things, it's fixing them; Tobi's anger makes the spoons shake; Lota is afraid she'll be sent home; Coo-Coo points out a sticky trail to the square. Lota: The pigeons say Gluey isn’t breaking things. It’s fixing them. Tobi: With glue? The whole city? Lota: Your spoons are shaking. Tobi: They’re not my spoons! Lota: If we don’t catch it, they’ll send me home. It’s my first day. Tobi: They won’t send me anywhere. I just sit. Lota: The square! Tobi: Come on!

    Lota: The pigeons say Gluey isn’t breaking things. It’s fixing them.

    Tobi: With glue? The whole city?

    Lota: Your spoons are shaking.

    Tobi: They’re not my spoons!

    Lota: If we don’t catch it, they’ll send me home. It’s my first day.

    Tobi: They won’t send me anywhere. I just sit.

    Lota: The square!

    Tobi: Come on!

  5. On the square Tobi aims carefully at Gluey's wheel, but the pigeons fly past and Gluey escapes towards the tower; Mishap catches only his own hat in the net; red-faced Tobi shouts at Lota and every metal thing around him shakes. Tobi: Now. Just the wheel. Slowly… Lota: Tobi, wait! The pigeons know where it’s going! Professor Mishap: Missed again! Tobi: You ruined everything!

    Tobi: Now. Just the wheel. Slowly…

    Lota: Tobi, wait! The pigeons know where it’s going!

    Professor Mishap: Missed again!

    Tobi: You ruined everything!

  6. Tobi's magnet explodes and pans, bikes, a postbox and a cart fly at him; only a sneaker sticks out of the big metal pile; inside the pile Tobi sits with a frying pan on his head while a spoon shakes on his palm. CLANG-BANG-CLINK! Lota: …Tobi? Voice from the pile: I’m fine. I think. Lota: Coo-Coo wants to know if you’d like a grape. Tobi: Great. A frying pan too.

    CLANG-BANG-CLINK!

    Lota: …Tobi?

    Voice from the pile: I’m fine. I think.

    Lota: Coo-Coo wants to know if you’d like a grape.

    Tobi: Great. A frying pan too.

  7. Tobi tries an experiment: when he frowns the spoon shakes harder, when he breathes out slowly it drops; the pile falls apart, Tobi puts everything back and on the kerb he says sorry to Lota; she tells him Gluey is heading for the tower. Tobi: Experiment one: thinking about pigeons. Tobi: Experiment two: not thinking about pigeons. Lota: What are you doing in there? Tobi: Science. Baker: My frying pan! Tobi: Frying pan — there. Bike — there. Tobi: Sorry. I wasn’t listening. Where’s Gluey going? Lota: Up the tower. The pigeons say it wants to fix the Signal.

    Tobi: Experiment one: thinking about pigeons.

    Tobi: Experiment two: not thinking about pigeons.

    Lota: What are you doing in there?

    Tobi: Science.

    Baker: My frying pan!

    Tobi: Frying pan — there. Bike — there.

    Tobi: Sorry. I wasn’t listening. Where’s Gluey going?

    Lota: Up the tower. The pigeons say it wants to fix the Signal.

  8. On the tower at sunset Gluey smears glue over the Signal; it squirts Tobi's goggles and the Signal's frame tilts, Tobi slowly opens his fist; then he gently pulls out Gluey's glue tank with his magnet, Mishap screws on a brush and the Signal shines again. Professor Mishap: Gluey, no! Glue doesn’t shine! Gluey: Beep-beep! CREEEAK! Lota: Tobi! The Signal! Tobi: Just the tank. Nice and slow. Gluey: Beep? Professor Mishap: There. A brush. And no more bright ideas, Gluey. Lota: Coo-Coo says he likes it.

    Professor Mishap: Gluey, no! Glue doesn’t shine!

    Gluey: Beep-beep!

    CREEEAK!

    Lota: Tobi! The Signal!

    Tobi: Just the tank. Nice and slow.

    Gluey: Beep?

    Professor Mishap: There. A brush. And no more bright ideas, Gluey.

    Lota: Coo-Coo says he likes it.

  9. The Tower Keeper takes Tobi and Lota onto the team on trial, and the first job is to unglue the whole city; that evening under the street lamps everyone unsticks things and the Signal suddenly blinks towards the island in the river. Tower Keeper: The robot’s back and the Signal’s shining. Who did it? Tobi: The pigeons knew where it was going. Lota: And he knew what to pull out. Tower Keeper: You’re on the team. Just a trial run. Both of you. Tower Keeper: First job’s down there. Tower Keeper: Unglue the whole city. Tobi: …All of it? Gluey: Beep! Lota: Coo-Coo says the Signal is calling the island. Tobi: The island? Nobody lives there. To be continued: The Signal from the Island

    Tower Keeper: The robot’s back and the Signal’s shining. Who did it?

    Tobi: The pigeons knew where it was going.

    a checked blanket cape and swimming goggles

    That’s exactly how he’s drawn in the Superhero style.

What the parent added

Topic
anger and calming down
Note
“When something doesn’t work out for him, he explodes, shouts and throws things. Afterwards he’s sorry. Not punishment — we want him to know what to do about it.”

In the story Tobi doesn’t throw things at home or lose a game — it all happens while chasing a robot in Hero City.

Nobody in the story spells out the lesson — it’s in what the characters do.

    A book for Klára

  2. Teams gather outside the bakery, Mrs. Lienka on the steps holds up four envelopes, Klára signs up with her brother and the toy, Dávid and Ivka next to them. Fall break at Grandma’s. Seven days. One bakery. And a brother. Mrs. Lienka: Four envelopes. The last one holds a password for me. No password, no finish. Mrs. Lienka: First back by eight gets their name on the Mystery Board. Klára: Team: me, my brother and Gustáv. Mrs. Lienka: A stuffed animal counts as half. Dávid: We’re two as well. Rišo’s at his grandma’s. We’ll still beat you. Mrs. Lienka: Just tonight, two will do. Two and a half too.

    Mrs. Lienka: Just tonight, two will do. Two and a half too.

  3. The teams open the first envelope with a cipher, Klára cracks it quickly on the bakery steps and runs off with Vilko; at the bus stop she gets the second envelope. EXVVWRS Dávid: What’s this? Typos? Klára: Shift by one… nonsense. By three… Bus stop. Vilko: You’re like a computer. One–zero to the visitor. Klára: “Go to the Keeper of Time.” Who’s the Keeper of Time? Vilko: Grandma’s alarm clock?

    Klára: “Go to the Keeper of Time.” Who’s the Keeper of Time?

    Vilko: Grandma’s alarm clock?

  4. Klára searches on her phone, then she and Vilko secretly follow Dávid and Ivka to the Timekeeper statue; Vilko’s toy squeaks and the two turn round. The internet knows nothing about the Keeper of Time. The internet has never been here. Ivka: The Keeper’s the statue by the school. Everybody knows that. Dávid: I knew it first. Ivka: You’re always first. Vilko: Are we spies? Klára: We’re tourists. SQUEAK! Dávid: Are you following us? Klára: Me? I’m walking my hamster.

Klára walks over to Dávid and Ivka and hands them her notebook; they agree, and all four run along the path under the lamps. ▲=U ●=N ■=D ◆=E ★=R ✚=T ▼=H ◐=B ♥=C ♣=O ♠=I ☾=L ✿=W ▶=K ◀=G ✖=S UNDER THE BENCH ON THE HILL WHERE THE WHOLE BLOCK GOES SLEDDING IN WINTER (a cipher made of symbols) Klára: I know what it says.

  8. On the hill behind the garages Ivka pulls a tin with the password from under a bench; Dávid decodes it himself on the way and says it to Mrs. Lienka just before eight. PXIILQ PXIILQ PXIILQ Ivka: Me first, for once! Dávid: The captain cracks the password. On the way. Klára: Give it here! Dávid: Captain! …Got it! Donut! Dávid: Password: donut! Mrs. Lienka: No. 7:59.

  9. The twins burst into the bakery, everyone laughs, Ivka slides Klára a pine cone; at Grandma’s Klára opens her suitcase, and in the morning they find a dot sticker at the bus stop. The twins: Muffin! Mrs. Lienka: Correct! First. Klára: …Muffin. Mrs. Lienka: Also correct. Second place. Dávid: Captain’s fault. Vilko: I’d have said donut too. Ivka: Coming with us tomorrow? On Friday you’ll meet Rišo. Klára: Tomorrow. Maybe. Ivka: This isn’t from Mrs. Lienka. Klára: Then it’s ours. To be continued: Who’s Sticking the Dots?

    The twins: Muffin!

About the samples

The opening pages of personalised books, exactly as a family receives them: a storybook for ages 4–5 and comics for 6–8, 7–9, 9–11 and 12–14, each in a different drawing style. The story for ages 7–9 is here twice: once the heroine is Ema, who uses a wheelchair, once Ema is the hero’s friend. The children in the samples are made up — we did the brief, script, drawings and checks with the same process as a real order. The whole book has more pages: a story for €9.90 (1 story · 16 pages) or a whole adventure for €24.90 (3 stories · 48 pages), as a storybook or a comic.

  • The children in the samples are made up — no real child, no photo.
  • AI draws, a person checked every page.
  • A sample is the start of a book; the whole book has a beginning and an end.

We’ll draw a book like this with your child

First we draw your child as the hero, for free. Only if you like it do you pay, once: a story for €9.90 (1 story · 16 pages) or a whole adventure for €24.90 (3 stories · 48 pages), as a storybook or a comic.

Frequently asked questions

Are the children in the samples real?

No. Bruno, Lina, Ema, Kubo, Tobi, Klára and everyone else are made up. We never show customers’ children on the website.

Will my child’s book look like this?

This is how a book for that age begins. One story has 16 pages (storybook or comic), an adventure is three stories (3 stories · 48 pages); your child picks the drawing style from 20 options, and the story is written from scratch from your brief.

Storybook or comic?

A storybook has a big picture and a few sentences on every page, read aloud by a parent — we recommend it for ages 4–5. A comic has panels and speech bubbles your child reads alone — from age 6.

Who draws it?

AI draws it from a character sheet we create once and lock. We write the script following child-psychology rules for the age, add the speech bubbles ourselves, and a person checks every page.
