Hello! What journey would you like to tell?
Your questions.
Which story fits my child's age?
Each age group has its own story: the hot air balloon for 0–2 year-olds, jobs around the magic globe for 3–5 year-olds, the explorer's map for 6–8 year-olds, and the twenty-day world tour for 9–12 year-olds. It's chosen automatically based on the age you give us.
What's different about the 20-chapter version?
It's not just a longer book: it adds false leads, encounters, funny moments and twists, all in the same countries. Both formats keep the same start and the same ending.
Will my child really look like the hero?
Yes. You send us a few photos, and our creative team draws your child from them, with their first name, in every scene of the journey.
When will I receive the book?

Where will your child set off to?
A few details, a few photos: you get a free preview before ordering.
