Beautiful picture book where a little boy who wants to become a chasqui or messenger is given an important mission by the Qoya, the queen. He needs to run on the Inca trail and deliver a Quipu with important information to the Inka king before Inti, the sun, sets down in the mountains. It is a long and dangerous trek. On his way, he stops several times to help animals, such as a condor, a llama. Will he deliver the message on time?

Gorgeous book full of love. Animals show their love to their little ones in different ways. The orang-utan likes to hug, the mommy crocodile likes to hold her babies inside her mouth, the penguins hold their babies against their tummy.

A dad is going to read a bedtime story to his son. The boy wants a really scary story. Not a story with a mice wolf, with a witch who invites her friends the unicorns, nor a story of a vampire who has soft teeth and can only chew gum. He picks a book for dad to read and gets ready for a scary story… but not too scary.

Fantastic book to learn everything about the farm. The animals, what they eat, where they sleep, their babies, what jobs are done by the farmers.
It is a great to learn, the children will have fun lifting the flaps, turning the wheels.
