This series comprises four books, which on one hand encourage the cooperative relationship
between the parent and the child and on the other hand, the creativity that every child has.
The child thinks of an object and draws it, but in order to construct it, he asks his parent for help.
Once it is finished, while playing, the child imagines that he is enjoying endless adventures.
So, in these books, there is a real part that any child can do with his parent and a creative part
that lets the imagination run free.
The objects to build are a car, a boat, a rocket and a hut. The last part explains the different types
of cars, boats, houses and rockets that man has built over the course of the history of mankind.

In this book, Ginkgo shows
the forests and trees he
visited in his trips around
the world: its colours,
its forms, the animals that
live there, but also the
menaces surround them.
In many places of the
world, they dont look after
their trees and exploit them
without control. Ginkgo
shows the treasures
hidden inside the forests
and the importance of
taking care about them...
of stopping deforestation!

Earths life? Ginkgo shows
animals and trees could not
live, we could not feed
ourselves or we could not
admire the amazing
landscapes of our planet

and fertile soil.
Contamination, residues

of natural resources degrade
soil... We need to stop soil
degradation!

Nature gets angry as well:
the strength of earthquakes
or the lava of volcanic
eruptions. These natural
disasters can swallow
villages, burn entire forests,
or leave a village without
water. Humans are also
responsible for these
catastrophes because we
build in dangerous places
and consume natural
resources without control.
We must know the hazards
of nature to prevent its
consequences.

Our planet has an
enormous diversity of
animals and plants: trees
of all length and height,
plants adapted to different

some of the most
threatened plants and
animals on the planet.

Rose and Sam are brother and sister. So are Lee and Lucy. All 4 are friends
and have loads of amusing adventures together while they discover the world,
acquire good habits and grow up.
As the characters are different ages, this enables us to deal with a range of topics
related with different stages of growing up. The adults play a secondary role; they
only appear in the situations in which their presence is required for safety reasons.
The 4 friends help each other and deal with the various situations that arise.
Thus, the books accompany readers aged from 2 to 6 years old. The readers
and characters grow together. As there are both male and female characters,
it is easy for the children to relate with one of them.
