Captivating non-fiction books that awaken children’s interest in the wonders of the physical, natural and human world around them.

Transparent overlay pages and cut-outs reveal hidden surprises and facilitate understanding. The books are produced in highly durable board format with hidden spiral binding.
My First Discoveries Art introduces children to the world of art: a famous artist, a particular artistic genre (Impressionism) or the works of a famous art museum (the Louvre). In My First Discoveries Torchlight a “magic” paper torch enables the reader to light up and discover hidden details in the illustrations on the darkened transparent pages of the book.
