This story book shows great enthusiasm and creation of 11 years old students from two primary schools. They have done the project in English although their mother languages are Slovak and Turkish. A simple idea can be elaborated in such a nice book. The students from both countries worked on the project simultaneously parallel in free on-line comics creation programme. They publish all their work in their eJournal „Dare a Comix“: http://www.ejournal.fi/Lapland2/index.php?output=InfoPage%28%29
