What the book aims to teach

Reading is a joy. Exploring new books, reading again beloved stories, flipping through pages, wandering in words people wrote and in worlds they created, contemplating information and opinions: we aim to show that reading and learning can be a joyful activity to pursue in our daily life.Developing skills. The narrative introduces skills for a lifetime, developing and reinforcing them through the story and the main character's actions and decisions. In our first book the skill is lifelong learning: "learning is a journey, not a destination".See books as an adventure. Books take us through their pages to new worlds, tell us fascinating stories, and introduce us to new concepts and information. With our book we aim to showcase books for the wonder they are: books are brought to life, making them lively, flying, and fun.Knowledge is a journey. Knowledge is not static - it is built on previous groundwork and becomes the foundation for future discoveries. We, too, should explore knowledge and learning as a journey where we start and continue our path in various directions, continually learning what interests us the most.Make science relatable and build confidence. We build confidence in children by making the advanced world of knowledge, books, and science relatable to them from a young age, therefore inspiring a new generation to learn, think, and aspire to make their dreams a reality.

Scientists and discoveries

With each discovery the place, and often the person, is mentioned, making the story a personal journey discussing with some of the world's greatest minds around the world and throughout time. Connecting the discovery with the place, the person (or the people), together with a simple explanation of what it is and why it matters, helps create the feeling that science and knowledge altogether is something attainable, within our reach, and keeps moving forward. In our book, among others, we portray the discoveries of Nicolas Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Edwin Hubble.
