What is the ideal age to read our books?

Our books are suitable for children aged 5 to 11, but there’s no upper limit!

What is the format of the book?

What exactly can you personalise?

Add the child's name and create a character who looks like them: skin tone, hairstyle, hair colour, eye shape, freckles. The character can also wear glasses or use a wheelchair. Over 36,000 combinations are possible. The character you create appears on the cover and throughout the whole story, not just on the first page. You can also add a personal dedication, free of charge. Before you order, you can read through the entire book to see the result.

What is the story about, and what subjects does it cover?

On the island of Kisiwa, all the colours have vanished. The child becomes the hero of the adventure that brings them back, meeting characters along the way who face difference, exclusion and bullying. The story handles these subjects in words suited to children aged 5 to 11. It highlights friendship, courage, empathy and respect for difference. It also shows that it is possible to own up to your mistakes, to change, and to repair the harm you have caused, an angle rarely covered in books about bullying. At the end of the book, open questions extend the reading and help start a conversation as a family.

Size and quality

The book is printed in a square 21 x 21 cm format. Two finishes are available: • Softcover: 40 pages, light and easy for a child to handle. • Hardcover: 42 pages, more hard-wearing. Recommended as a gift.
