2026 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS FINALIST - Children's Mind/Body/Spirit
What if your children could travel 50,000 years into the past while mastering human evolution, biodiversity, and empathy?
This trilogy meticulously combines REAL SCIENCE with IMAGINATIVE ADVENTURE to create a compelling experience that captivates while it educates. Based on the real discovery of Homo floresiensis in Indonesia, it transports young readers to a world where the tiny is extraordinary and every question plants a seed of knowledge.
THE UNIQUE CORE OF THIS WORK:
- REAL SCIENCE, FASCINATING ADVENTURE: Each episode seamlessly integrates genuine archaeological and paleontological discoveries with an engaging narrative that keeps children learning about evolution, biodiversity, and prehistoric ecosystems.
- RELATABLE PROTAGONISTS: MaryAnn and Gael are curious children from the near future who use special technology to virtually explore the life of Florencia, a Homo floresiensis girl. Their complementary personalities (she is emotional and creative, he is analytical and methodical) model different, valid approaches to knowledge.
- VALUES ON EVERY PAGE: Cooperation, respect, critical thinking, empathy, environmental stewardship, and the preservation of historical memory are woven naturally into the storyline.
