Kamil is a cheerful, lively five year-old, who goes to kindergarten and loves to make silly jokes. Is he typical? Yes, because he behaves normally. No, because he is blind from birth. The book shows the daily life of such a child, without exaggerated pity, but also without glossing over anything. It consists of several short stories: sometimes happy, sometimes poignant, sometimes dramatic. After reading, children should know how to behave in the company of a blind person: not to comment loudly, not to console, but to help if necessary.

It was no longer safe in Machinesville, the angry wail of police sirens could be heard more and more often, and botcops in pursuit of robots breaching the peace had almost become a everyday event.

Machines showing symptoms of the disease are sent to Workshop, a forbidden place from which no one had yet returned. Screwy’s father is also among the infected.

Maybe you also have the impression that when you’re not looking, familiar places suddenly come to life, become busy cities, mysterious worlds, where a lot of amazing stories can happen … You’ve never noticed? Hmm … In that case, I need to invite you on a trip. We’ll check what can happen when nobody is looking … A book in the form of an album about places and items in the home familiar to every child: the bathtub, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, etc. The author presents them as fairytale lands teeming with life, populated by various everyday characters that every child knows about—police officers, firemen, life-guards, scientists, skiers, musicians, pirates, filmmakers, explorers, etc. The story revolves around a scout team on a trip through these different lands. In each place, one of the team members gets lost. In each chapter the reader has to find the scout as well as lost animals or thieves on the run—the content provides hints on what or whom we are looking for. Of course, in the end the whole team will get together again.

This book ingeniously presents 22 words that render a concept that can not be defined in another language using only one word. This can be a person, phenomenon, feeling, thing or something else, for example: age-otori (Japanese) means “look a lot worse with a new hairstyle” or shemomedjam (Georgian) means “eat despite feeling full, because the food is delicious”. Each word is illustrated with an expressive, witty picture showing the crux of the meaning. The book takes words from different languages, both popular and less familiar: Arabic, Japanese, Georgian, French, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Inuit, German, Norwegian, Portuguese, Icelandic, Danish and Ukrainian. A great idea, superb execution, lots of fun, but also packed with educational value: learning words and what they mean, developing a curiosity about other nations.

These contemporary stories teach sensitivity and empathy. The author opens up the readers’ eyes and hearts by presenting issues relevant to them: how hard it is to be a younger brother, what a “little fella” feels when his friends laugh at him, whether it is good to be a spoilt only child, or how to survive when your best friend moves to another country. And it shows that what is most important is to try to understand each other. These beautiful, touching and wise stories can be used as a springboard for further conversation.

Just like the first volume in the Adamada series on ecology „What To Do with This Mountain of Garbage?”, „What To Do with This Cloud of Smog?” also emphasises agency and our own ability to change the world.
Yet, smog is a highly complex issue because not everything depends on the efforts of ordinary people. Certain actions can only be taken by governments and industry. That is why it is important to indicate what – despite all the obstacles – individuals can do, especially the smallest among us, i.e. children.

As a few-year-old detective, Frankie Lightning has already shown that he knows how to act effectively (Part 1 of the adventures of „Frankie Lightning”). Now it’s time for more tasks, because a little brother has just arrived in his life! From this point on, the challenges begin to multiply dangerously: the adults get weird – they start talking as if they have toffee candy in their mouths. The washing machine won’t stop running, and it’s at top speed, feeding on socks in the smallest possible size. The idea of feeding a baby salami clashes with toothless reality. However, taming the monster of jealousy proves to be the hardest part.
Frankie passes the big brother test with flying colours. His practical, but often crazy ideas may prove helpful to other children in a similar situation. And parents will do well to look at the world through their children’s eyes.

With lightning speed, Frankie climbed the Hail Hill, where a general with a coal-black poodle was waiting for help in solving a case from the last century. A minute later, the boy… was sitting in his bed, trying to write down all the details of the meeting. You’re wondering why, since it was probably just a dream? Frankie had over a decade of experience in dreaming, and understood that it couldn’t be just an ordinary dream if he was dreaming it every night.
He was convinced that his unusual dreams were the real deal for a detective. It all started when he and his schoolmate Sandra, whose brain resembled an Internet search engine, his brother Leon, who seemed to be leading them to the best clue, and his mother, who was relentless in solving puzzles, found clues in the immediate surroundings… The deal might just be a one too complicated and doomed to failure. But Frankie knew that if he tried to unravel it, he had a chance at the adventure of a lifetime and the eternal gratitude of the general in love with Mary Ann.
This book is Part 3 of the adventures of Frankie Lightning, well-known to the readers from previous two books. The boy is getting older, so his adventures are age-appropriate – both for the main character of the book and for the readers of the series.

One day, a crazy plan is born in the heads of three friends. They have had enough of their boring lives and bad treatment. They decide to rent a canoe from a nearby rental shop and paddle off
into the distance to explore the world and get a taste of freedom. There is only one problem: Bessie, Daisy and Annabelle are… cows. But, as we all know, where there’s a will, there’s a way!
Therefore, despite all odds, they embark on an adventurous journey which rewards them with a whole lot of new friendships… This unusual book drew inspiration from the true story of cows
which escaped from their pasture and, after a long journey, joined a herd of European bisons. They lived happily among them and even had offspring! It is hard to imagine these real-life escapees
using canoes or some other means of transport – but… who knows how it really was?
