How time flew by making the Tick-Tock _ Clocks, time for a lesson!

“It’s no easy job raising clocks…” And indeed, it’s true: children don’t know that even clocks have to go to school to learn to tell the time… and the time has finally come for them to find out!This is the opening line of Tik-Tak, the brand-new, colourful fairy tale by Antonis Papatheodoulou and Myrto Delivoria, which tells us about time and its essential value in all our lives. The original portrayal of the ‘clock-teacher’ with his clock-pupils presents time from a different perspective: time that passes slowly or quickly, time that does not turn back, time that we spend together. At the same time, the narrative highlights the tender relationship between the teacher and his pupils from each of their perspectives.Today, we are sharing with you some of the book’s early drafts, as well as snapshots of Tik-Tak’s journey from the conception of the initial idea – about a year ago – to the day the book reached the printers. These meetings are the most creative and rewarding part of a publisher’s work. Ideas follow one after another, striving to better convey the story itself and its fresh-faced characters. The conversations are sometimes serious and sometimes incredibly funny, and through the ‘time we spend together’ we bond even more, and so we celebrate the publication of every new book together! Tik-Tak will be in bookshops from this week. Don’t forget to look out for the clock-bookmark we’ve designed. With it, time will pass even more enjoyably!
