Steffi & Michael Gerharz live with their three children in Troisdorf, near Cologne, Germany. Under their aprilkind label, they design and develop stories and stuffed toys for children from around the world to play with. They got the idea for the Grumbletroll when their youngest daughter sat across from them at the breakfast table, sulking and grumbling with her arms crossed. With great attention to detail, they designed the little troll as a transformable plush figure that you just can’t help but love, despite his anger, and with it, the concept for a picture book series that they brought to life together with Stephan Pricken and Barbara van den Speulhof. As a passionate children’s book author, director, and producer of (children’s) audio plays, Barbara van den Speulhof knows that the issue of anger plays a big role in many families. That’s why the idea of the little troll, who can hardly keep his anger in check, seemed just right to her. Using careful and sensitive words, she tells the story of the Grumbletroll with authenticity, sweetness, and a guarantee of no finger-wagging. As the father of a son, Stephan Pricken also knows a lot about being really angry. After forays into mechanical engineering and architecture, he first studied elementary school teaching with a focus on art and ultimately graphic design in Münster, where he now lives and works as a freelance illustrator. Developing the little troll and his world based on the existing stuffed toy was an unusual but exciting task for him, which he solved wonderfully: you just have to love his Grumbletroll!

Doubt Pia Valentinis

Children face doubt in every part of their lives, and this gentle walk through these unknowns is presented in a way that is designed to reassure the reader Young readers will identify with the animals and their little insecurities and see there are different ways of dealing and coping with them The ending reaffirms the message of the book: "I always have so many doubts . . . Don’t you?" and allows parents and teachers to encourage children to ask questions

Children face doubt in every part of their lives. What will I wear? How long will I have to wait? Did I do it right? Doubt is an intelligent approach for children from their own point of view that combines subtle humor with a little bit of irony to reassure the reader that we all cope with like unknowns. Through a warm combination of colors, Pia Valentinis illustrates these common self-doubts through animals, each asking a simple question that creates a comfortable atmosphere where the reader is presented with different ways of dealing with them. Doubt is a part of life and what makes us human.

Don’t you?"

The whole universe flows in eternal natural cycles, and this poetic journey captures the beauty of how nothing disappears and everything is infinite A circular die cut on the cover symbolizes the continuous process of transformation and encourages young readers to open up and discover these magical cycles The mix of science, poetry, and art is structured in a way that children will be drawn into these 11 natural cycles that are part of everyday life

With all things that exist in the universe, when they come to an end, they start over. Nothing disappears completely; everything is transformed over and over again. When winter ends, spring sprouts. After the night, a new day dawns, and from the fruit that has fallen on the ground, a tree grows . . . These are the magical cycles of the universe, and this book shows some of them, from the cycle of water and the life cycle of butterflies and humans to the phases of the moon and the seasons of the year. Each cycle is represented by a simple definition and an illustration that identifies the main phases, and is followed by an observation to link the concept and a quote for the reader to reflect upon before moving on. So whether you are following the migration of birds or discovering the powerful sequence of the food chain, you can trace the progression of science and nature in a way to better understand our existence. Welcome to an incredible journey through infinity!

“Innovative, different, clever. These words describe the trio of books in this series. The idea behind these ‘teaching guides’ is to connect nature and its elements to the feelings and experiences children face in their everyday lives. More and more, the expectations and pressures on children, emotionally and academically, can feel stifling and confusing, and these books can be a wonderful resource to healthily sift and push through conflicts, discomforts, and new experiences to become our best selves.”

Through this lovely contrast, preschoolers will understand the transportive power of reading . . . buckets of kid appeal.” —Kirkus Reviews
