A series of 4 picture books to help children make sense of sensitive subjects

After the success of the first series of 4 books of Children in our World, I worked on successive series of 4 more books with the same aim: helping children understand larger issues and problems that we face as societies all over the globe.

With these books, children can begin to understand why understanding people from other cultures is important, how to celebrate diversity, what climate change and global warming are, why we should cut pollution and recycle, the ways in which people fight for equality…


At times when many children are raised under fearmongering light and hate-dialogue, this series couldn’t be of more importance.
