If sometimes:
you are fed up with everyday life
you feel that you are missing something
you wish you could escape
you doubt the existence of love and friendship… and dwarfs
…this book is just for you.
An intriguing and rich story for young and old, in which fairy tale subtly intertwines with reality. The book consists of a small gallery of dwarfs’ portraits, drawn by the author with great craft and humour. However, the story runs far deeper, as the portraits reveal the secrets and characteristics of the dwarfs. A book that might have been taken from an old treasure chest, this is a gem that sparkles with gold.
A beautiful story in which the fairy tale world interweaves with the world hidden inside every one of us. It is a story for younger readers who will listen to it with wonder, dreaming of magical encounters, and those grown-up ones who can still picture the different colours of life – both sad and joyful.

For the first time in Poland, the world famous Dutch series about the little rabbit called Miffy (which has so far sold over 85 million books in 46 languages!).
In Miffy’s world every day is an adventure. Beautifully rhythmic and poetic, and told with simplicity, sincerity and warmth, this first book in the series, like Miffy herself, is so much more than it appears.

A long book with a short tale, Anastazy is the story of a dachshund, a sausage dog with a noble name and a wonderful imagination.
Anastazy invites us into the intrepid and exciting world of the sausage dog. He loves watching clouds and he howls at the moon; he has a soft spot for Westerns and dreams of a career as a high jumper; and sometimes, as with dogs all over the world, he even manages to rouse himself to chase a cat. More than anything, Anastazy shows us how to love life. | |

A multi-faceted work, with lyrics, illustration and music. Dorota Hartwich’s story tells of the charm of falling asleep to a lullaby. Full of fantasy and warmth with a subtle lyric, the story is both moving and funny. With illustrations by Jerzy Głuszek, the book takes us on a trip to a truly magical and mysterious world, both silent and luminous. Into this enchanting place comes the beautiful voice of jazz ballad singer Grażyna Auguscik, performing the lullaby in many different languages – Polish, Spanish, Italian, English, Russian, Slovak, German, French and Yiddish. With a beautiful arrangement by Adam Oles and superb performances by musicians, Jarosław Bester, Tomasz Kałwak, José Manuel Albán Juárez, Adam Oleś, it is hard not to return to it again and again, and not just on a sleepy evening. | |

Grand Prix Best Children's Book 2006 (The Polish Committee for Protection of Children's Rights Competition)
PTWK The Most Beautiful Book of 2007 Competition - special mention
Wroclaw Book Fair Award 2007 - special mention
Text: Dorota Hartwich
Illustrations: Tomasz Jakub Sysło
Date of publication: 2007
pages: 72
size: 205 x 205 mm
ISBN 978-83-921483-4-0
age: 5 +
A few simple words. Wise and delicate. A non-standard story of love (which never happens to be standard), embellished with non-standard illustrations.
Michał Nogaś
Whispered narrative evokes real pleasure when you read it. It’s a beautiful, mellow and
original though simply fairytale story for those in love, all ages – from twelve to one hundred and twelve.
Roman Kurkiewicz
The most common but most difficult issue – love. In this book it gains the freshness and energy of a spring day. The unaffectedness of its words and images will get at all the readers’ hearts – the youngest, the teenage, the already-grown-up and those whose sensitivity can be only awakened by the memories of their first infatuation.
Mirosław Ratajczak
It’s so difficult to achieve such simplicity of expression. It has been accomplished in this charming book.

|  Puszka-Cacuszko / A Little Gem Tin
Grand Prix Best Children's Book 2006 (The Polish Committee for Protection of Children's Right Award)
Wroclaw Book Fair Award 2007 - special mention
Text: Lech Janerka
Illustrations: Tomasz Broda
Date of publication: 2006
pages: 44
size: 210 x 210 mm
ISBN 83-921483-1-2
age: 2 +
A collaboration between the musician and poet, Lech Janerka, and the painter and stage designer, Tomasz Broda, A Little Gem Tin features thoughtful, humourous text by Janerka, and moving, poetic artwork by Broda. A book for both children and adults alike, Janerka and Broda chose animals as their protagonists. As with the classic fairy tales, the stories can be taken both literally and metaphorically, as wonderfully entertaining tales in their own right, or as allegory for the problems of the contemporary world. A thought-provoking book which entertains as much as it makes the reader ask questions. The CD includes “Elephant”, a song by Lech Janerka. | |
|  Nochal Czarodziej / Wizzard the Big Nose
Fredro's Pen Award 2007 - nomination
Text: Agnieszka Wolny-Hamkało
Illustrations: Antek Wajda
date of publication: 2007
pages: 40
size: 205 x 205 mm
ISBN 978-83-921483-3-3
age: 5 +
This book takes the reader to a truly enchanted world, an eerie realm full of magic. The story of Wizzard the Big Nose and little Miłosz combines fantasy with a large dose of humour and a pinch of horror. A story to keep you in suspense, and perhaps to make you afraid, but most of all to make you laugh. This poetic and modern fairy tale is accompanied by innovative and humorous illustrations, with the moral of the story woven cleverly through the plot. | |

size: 146 x 208 mm
ISBN: 83-921-483-0-4
I truly regret that I did not have this book earlier in life. Full of wonderful advice on how to enjoy womanhood and how to cope with difficult moments and situations, it has been written with love, tenderness and with a trust in nature’s purpose.
Anna Seniuk
What I loved most about it, is the fact that much more than a book, this is a conversation, and a wise, friendly satisfying one at that.
Ladies, we are beautiful and we deserve attention and to be understood. So let us give a little bit of both as a gift to ourselves. “Woman and Nature” helps us to understand our bodies, our minds and more...

Qlturalnie o Płaszczu Józefa
Ewa Świerżewska na www.qlturka.pl pisze o "Płaszczu Józefa": Gdybym wśród wydanych w ostatnim czasie w Polsce książek dla dzieci miała wskazać pięć, które zrobiły na mnie największe wrażenie, „Płaszcz Józefa" z całą pewnością znalazłby się wśród nich. Ten tytuł, wydany w serii „Światowi mistrzowie dzieciom", był dla mnie niezwykłym odkryciem - i to może nie literackim, bo tekstu - nota bene świetnego w swojej prostocie - tu niewiele, ale za to kulturowym i estetycznym.
