Information for daycare centers

Dear educators,

We are very happy to announce that we are passionate about entertaining children and building bridges between different cultures – with our lovable dinosaurs!

To achieve this, we have translated our first picture book “Schnecki” into numerous languages. We are making this valuable work available free of charge as a PDF.

Do you need a different language? Talk to us. We will do our best to fulfill all your wishes.

Our vision is that children from different backgrounds can discover and act out the stories together, even if there are language barriers. Let us stimulate children's imaginations together and give them the opportunity to interact with each other through play.

We look forward to an inspiring collaboration and to sharing the joy of storytelling with you and your protégés!

In our shop or our catalogue you will find books that we hope will convince you.
