The way in which the reader gets the information is original and different from the rest of the jobs books.

We believe that it is a clever way to go towards a great and big topic from children’s books and give it a twist by presenting it in an up-to-now or modern language, that kids will be identify with.

The book will have 3 pages at the end in which the different characters/ professionals of each job will appear in a funny game.

It will also have some visual games on it, guided by the text.
