Ships that sailed the imagination

Thanks to its spiral binding, the book offers children a game: by mixing up the pages, young readers can invent thousands of brand-new, funny, strange and original professions! A book that, in response to the much-loved question ‘what will I be when I grow up?’, doesn’t offer answers for you to choose from, but aims for something even more relevant: to teach you to play, experiment, discover, invent and – most importantly – to believe that the future is yours and that you can truly do whatever you set your mind to, however crazy or impossible it may seem!

Does the Flying Dutchman, the ghost ship, really exist? Did the party ship, the Argo, find the Golden Fleece? Can the schooner Hispaniola hold all the pirates in the world? How did Verne’s little boat grow and become a steamship? Why is the Piquot chasing the great white whale? What did Lucian’s ship see on its journey to the moon? Ships are full of wonder; they set sail for unknown, unexplored seas and always return laden with stories, ready to recount them to anyone who wants to listen, to learn, to travel with them.

It’s hard to learn to tell the time. It’s even harder to get clocks to tell it. In this new book by the two creators, time and the relationship between the teacher and his pupils are presented from a different perspective. Tick-Tock is a hilarious fairy tale with lively illustrations for all hours! For the hours that pass slowly and those that fly by and never return. But also for that time we spend together, young and old, the most beautiful, the most unique of all! In Tick-Tock, children will read an original story about how time differs from place to place, but also about how quickly time flies. Above all, however, reading the book will help young readers better understand the true value of time in our lives, which is none other than the moments when young and old are together. That is the best time!

_When a ship sinks, how is it that the fire it carried in its hold remains on the surface... and doesn’t go out? I wonder what will become of Sam, the apprentice riverboat pilot, when he grows up? How many ships were burned for the sake of a single pirate island? How many years could the Sun’s own ship endure in utter darkness? _ Ships both real and imaginary, from mythology and literature, from ancient and recent history, invite us to set sail with them on a journey through space and time, a journey where everything can be told as a maritime tale. The first two books in the series have been recognised by the Greek Children’s Book Circle and have been included in the international White Ravens list.

_Why does Calypso like to sit upside down, with the keel up and the bridge in the water? Which ship was it that held the most insatiable of all the world’s curiosities? Are there, I wonder, ancient ships… that are brand new? Which ship was it that made Alexander the Great weep? And why? How far did the Vasa, the pride of the royal fleet, intend to go with its bold long-range voyage? _ Ships both real and imaginary, from mythology and literature, from ancient and recent history, invite us to set sail with them on a journey through space and time, a journey where everything can be told as a maritime tale.

Antonis Papatheodoulou and Daniela Stamatia present the original story of Amalia. The young heroine slips into the bustling street market, where a small child’s voice is unlikely to be heard at all. However, something quite different is about to happen. Sometimes, all it takes is to believe in the beauty hidden in everything you have to say. And then your voice, in a magical way, will not only be heard, but without anyone realising it, will inspire others to take a small step towards something of their own, something more beautiful.

Through his camera lens, Antonis Papatheodoulou captures love and imagination, ideas and melody, and what your neighbourhood looked like in Ancient Athens! The world of Let’s See is wonderfully colourful, original and funny. His cameras have the power to capture not only images, but also emotions, memories, ideas and the whole marvellous and precious world that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Iris Samartzi’s illustrations, full of humour and adventure, wonderfully bring the stories of the cameras to life. Let’s See is a subversive and sweet exploration of the imagination.

What does revolution mean? Does it need a leader? Where does the homeland of the Greeks begin and where does it end? Are there homelands made of words? Can there be a revolution without an army? What happens when everyone is against everyone else? This book never tires of asking questions. It never stops asking. It would like to have more pages, to fit in more questions. It pays no heed to hasty answers. It does not believe in definitive answers. It loves questions; through them, it finds ways to understand Yesterday and Today, to think about Tomorrow. Because questions give birth to new stories, worthy of being told by someone one day and asked about.

The Little Girl and Grandfather lived in a country where people were happy, with all the good things in life: stone houses, fountains with gurgling water, embroidered clothes. And they counted everything. So they would know how much they had. ‘Are there things that are Countless, Grandpa?’ the Little Girl asked one day, and set out to find them. And when the time came for her to marry, she sought a prince who could manage to count them just as well as she could. To help her count the Countless. Maria Angelidou has written a story like an old fairy tale, with elements that give a nod to the present through their timelessness, and Vasilis Selimas has illustrated it in the finest possible way.
