“What impressed me is how systematically the books are structured. The stories align beautifully with school curricula across the world. The topics cover many different aspects of knowledge, yet still feel playful and alive. It was also a great honor to participate in creating the children’s picture book Fireworks, which advocates for children’s mental health awareness.”
