Children's & YA2018What on Earth am I?
by Lara Salomon
What on Earth am I? is Lara Salomon's and Megan Bird's first children's book together, investigating complex topics, like identity, diversity, and existentialism, for kids. It is a wonderful picture book for children with more questions than answers about the world. The book follows a young child’s over-active imagination, which often leaves them confused as to what kind of creature they are. They try their very best to discover the answer by recalling the many creatures that they've read about in their storybooks and fairytales. "I've been reading all these stories, and they've got me quite confused. Because they feature all these creatures, and I'm really not amused."

Children's & YAApril 2019Soapy’s World
by Aidi Vallik, Lumimari
White Raven 2021Soapy’s name isn’t really Soapy – that’s just what people call her because more than anything else in the world, she loves blowing soap bubbles. Soapy got her very first bubble-blower when Mom came home from her job abroad for a few days. Dad had already left home by then – Soapy and her little brother are cared for by their grandmother. Whenever she blows bubbles, Soapy forgets that Mom and Dad no longer live together, that Mom is always sad and far away, and that no one has the time to notice her problems anymore. Blowing bubbles is great, because the soap bubbles you blow only take from the real world what you like and what gives you joy.

Children's & YAApril 2019What Do You Dream About?
by Kadri Hinrikus, Anu Kalm
Kids’ lives are nowhere as easy as grown-ups might think! For example, Eve’s father works far away in the capital, so the girl misses him all the time. Andreas, on the other hand, is worried that his parents are in over their heads with taking care of his baby sister – all it’s been since she was born is nothing but work and caring for her, with hardly any time left over for chatting and having fun. Helen, who is a city girl, finds herself afraid of everything when she attends her great-uncle’s birthday celebration in the countryside: frogs, worms, bees – you name it. Jake is certainly there to support her, but then, a surprising sense of unease creeps into his heart, too. It sure is nice when there are adults around who know to take kids’ worries seriously. And it sure is astounding when they’re able to offer a pretty good solution!

by Lisa Moss, Dr. Thomas Bernard
The Adventures of Lillicorn series is designed to introduce little engineers and budding computer scientists to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) skills such as structured problem solving, creative thinking, pattern recognition and coding within a playful, imaginative and interactive way. Featuring a young curious heroine, who has a passion for science and coding, and loves to find creative solutions on her many quests. The story inspires 4 to 8-year-old children to be adventurous and explore faraway places, and encourages them to use their scientific ‘brain smarts,’ to solve a series of fun STEM educational activities. Meet Lilli, a fearless little girl, who loves to conceive new experiments and inventions. In her dreams at night, she transforms into Lillicorn, a superhero, where she teams up with friends, including the reader, to travel to distant lands, and figure out innovative solutions that save the day! The rhyming story books are designed so that children can solve ten different STEM quests and earn charm tokens (provided in the book). It’s an exciting way for children to learn fundamental STEM skills (e.g. abstraction, coding, pattern recognition, etc.) at an early age, as well as develop 21st century learning skills (the 4Cs – critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication).
