Cherry Cherry is a collection of books for singing, counting, looking and playing with small children.

Each one is special, sweet and playful as cherries, and designed for those that have not yet learned to read. Numbers, parts of the human body and food are covered in these books. Once the story ends, you can listen to it with music.

All I Know About the People According to Confucius “All people are the same; only their habits differ.”

In this book you will find everything you always wanted to know about people and were afraid to ask… Are you ready to see the world through the eyes of a child?

It is through observation and funny comparisons among people’s habits, physical differences and ways of life that this little kid realizes that we are all the same because we are all different.

Both the story and the fresh illustrations are constantly winking at cultural icons, literary references and fictional characters such as Tyrion Lannister from Games of Thrones played by Peter Dinklage, David Bowie, Cyrano de Bergerac, Gilda, Charlot, Groucho Marx or Long John Silver of the Treasure Island by Salinger.
