01 · The idea

A collection that grows with its reader

Each year opens a new door: senses, family, imagination, responsibility, identity, resilience and legacy.

Reading together

A story is better read together.

Each book is made to be opened together: a child, a brother, a sister, a parent, a class. Turning the pages side by side is already the start of a conversation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What ages are the books for?

The collection has 18 volumes, one for each year from 0 to 18. Each page shows the recommended age: start from your child’s age, or use the “Find the right book” assistant.

Who is Kam?

Kam is the character running through the whole collection. His face changes from one book to the next as he grows in the story: each book page shows the Kam face used in that volume.

What is the message of each book?

Each page explains the book’s message and the skills it helps build, without revealing the story’s secrets. The Pedagogy page presents the overall approach.

Are the pedagogical benchmarks official?

They draw on public references (UNESCO, UNICEF, national curricula). They are working benchmarks, not a label or accreditation.

Where can I buy the books?

Shops are listed on each book page. Some links are affiliate links: the author may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
