Earth Day 2026

We celebrate Planet Earth today, the place where we all born, chosen by a higher force from all the other planets just for us, to thrive. And to take care of our home, for is the only one we have and most important we can live it for our children to enjoy it also.

Here is our collection of picture books about Earth, our planet, nature and animals and the people who cherished it and spent their lives protecting it.

Gianni Rodari, the wizard of storytelling

He was called the father of Italian children literature and for all the right reasons. His talent and inspiration for making up stories that would fascinate children all over the globe, all over the ages was remarcable. Out of the ordinary. The comic of situation and hilarious turn of events in his stories is one of a kind and most appealing to his readers. For some time now my daughter reads him in all evenings, sometimes with her father. They started with “The book of whys”, went to the magical volume “Telephone tales” and now are going over Cipollino’s adventures.

His style often remembers me of Eugen Ionesco and his stories about Josette, his mother and himself and their parisian invented life.

So if you are looking for a great author to read whith your children, Gianni Rodari is an absolute must. Enjoy!

The Little Prince, MinaLima edition

You are at the top of your game when you are being published at the same time in 22 languages.

And the artists that creates at the MinaLima studio are there now. At the begining of April a new classic book was launch international and soon started also a book tour for it. Is the great wonder of our childhood, The little prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

The illustrations and all the interactive elements in the book are spectacular, as in any MinaLima work.

We are happy that Arthur Publishing House brought this gorgeous book in our country too, for all the Romanian fans of The Little Prince to be able to enjoy it.

Our favourite silent picture books

“An imagine is worth more than a 1000 words” is an old saying. And in children books that is 100% true. An illustration, a good one especially, tells a story itself. The child looks at it and makes up any story he wants. What a joy and freedom of expresion!

This is our collection of wordless picture books so far. Enjoy!

The Wizard of Oz

There are a lot of classical stories that will always remain in children’s hearts. But the one imagined by L. Frank Baum will be hard to top.

The Wizard of Oz had been made in various adaptations, illustrated picture books or plays and films. The adventures of Dorothy and her companions is known and loved all over the world.

We have quite a collection of Wizards in our daughter’s library, the last addition being the Romanian version published by Humanitas Junior in 2026 and illustrated by the great artist Iacob Desideriu.

Enjoy!

Biografii pentru copii

Clasa a 4 a a venit cu o noua materie, istoria. Si daca pasiunea copilului pentru istorie si vremuri de mult apuse nu ar fi fost de ajuns ca subiect de lecturi, acum s-au adaugat si lecturile ce au ca subiect mari evenimente si conducatori romani.

Colectia noastra de carti biografice este deja formata, incercam sa adaugam noi titluri pe masura ce aflam despre ele.
