FALL 2025

PABLO PICASSO

At Little Gestalten, we cherish the magic of beginnings. Here, talented writers and artists come together to create books that are gateways to adventure, learning, and experiencing. Each page of every book invites children to step inside, lose themselves in amazement, and explore new worlds through the joy of play.

This autumn, we’re bringing you titles full of wonder and discovery.

This Is How I Feel Today helps children understand their emotions, with 50 feelings brought to life through simple words and beautiful illustrations.

Keep On Moving takes you on a journey across the world, following animals as they travel by land, sea, and air in search of food and shelter.

For little explorers, I Find My First Words turns everyday objects into a playful game of hide-and-seek—banana, tree, pot, or plaster? Learning new words has never been so much fun! And for those with a hunger for adventure, A Taste of the World invites you to 22 vibrant festivals, each told through the delicious foods and traditions that bring people together.

What do families feast on for Chinese New Year? How is the Sugar Festival celebra­ted? What makes Día de los Muertos so special, and which fruit is a Jamaican favorite?

This season, our books are all about exploring the world with your senses—opening new perspectives, sparking big dreams, and proving that every children’s book is its own extraordinary adventure.

Little Gestalten About us: Little Gestalten celebrates today’s most innovative authors and illustrators by bringing their work to life through original works of nonfiction, charming picture books, activity books, and pop-ups.

A beautifully illustrated journey through emotions—helping children recognize, understand, and express their feelings Emotions shape our lives in many ways—sometimes ­overwhelming, other times quiet and hard to name. This Is How I Feel Today invites exploration through 50 illustrated emotions, each brought to life with expressive watercolors by Marine Schneider. The book encourages reflection and connection, offering moments to pause and understand feelings. Emotions are grouped into six categories: joy, sadness, fear, anger, surprisef, and disgust. Each is paired with brief texts to help children recognize, name, and better understand their feelings. There are no right or wrong answers—only emotions to explore and discuss, whether shared between children and adults or explored alone.

A small arborology presents different types of trees and last but not least, the book shows what great things you can do with trees (you can climb trees, build a treehouse in their crown, or lie in their shade and relax …) and familiar objects that have their origin from trees (instruments, paper planes, books …). In the tree quiz on the last double page, children can apply their newly acquired knowledge.

Sam G. C. and Raquel Martín undertake their most ambitious and original work to date: the history of the routes that women and men have taken throughout the ages. Sam’s telling of mankind’s migrations around the world will have readers dreaming, while Raquel’s entrancing illustrations inspire a journey of the imagination. The Silk Road, the Trans-Siberian railway, the Camino de Santiago, the Appian Way, the Cathar Way, and the Inca Trail are just a few examples of how humankind’s great routes are much more than simple journeys.

SAM G. C. lives in Menorca and is a writer and illustrator of comics. He has a passion for his family, but he is also intensely dedicated to his art and to spreading the values of respect for biodiversity as well as the richness of being different.

RAQUEL MARTÍN is the illustrator of some of our most representative books and best valued by readers and critics, such as Antarctica, a continent of wonder; Africa, the continent of colours, and Mapamundi. Todo lo que se puede explicar en un mapa. She lives, works and takes care of her children in Mahon (Menorca).
