        The Elephant

        by Kadri Hinrikus, Kadi Kurema

        Kärt feels that she doesn’t really belong anywhere. Her relationship with her classmates is not a happy one- either she is being bullied for the way she looks or taunted because she knows the answers to teacher’s questions. It’s not going much better at home either- her father is not exactly happy about Kärt preferring books and reading to maths and computers.  Her support from her mum is nonexistent as well as she just starts to cry and despair hearing about Kärt’s problems.Alas, after a particularly bad day at school, Kärt meets a spunky Croatian girl Lucija who slowly helps Kärt to realise that exactly her kind of girl is needed and cherished in different situations.

        What 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!

        Julius the Bunny’s Computer

        by Leelo Tungal, Regina Lukk-Toompere

        One day, Julius the bunny is given a computer – just what he’s always wanted! His sister’s sled and his brother’s skis seem too ordinary to the bunny-boy. Julius’s father shows him how to click on icons and play games. How exciting they are! The games let him run from wolves, stack heads of cabbage, and fling carrots. However, his favourite is a tiger-hunting game. It’s so nerve-racking that the bunny barely finds any time to eat and sleep, much less play with his brother and sister. When all the tigers are finally caught, Julius finds himself in a totally different world.
