About this event
Launch of the supportive children's books "Friendship for a Flytrap" and "The Brave Coward Hubert"
Come and celebrate the release of new books by Jablonec-based author and publisher Barbora Melíková with us.
We will be launching the books
"Friendship for a Flytrap"
,
"The Brave Coward Hubert"
and a new expanded edition of the book
"About the Bear Who Couldn't Swim But Learned to Read."
All books from the Semínko publishing house will be available for purchase at the event, with the option for personal dedications and signatures.
The books have been recommended by child psychologists and will appeal to both young and older readers.
A small accompanying program will be prepared for children.
"The author's stories have something that isn't a given in children's literature – they are able to talk to children about challenging emotions and situations kindly, clearly, and without moralizing.
Whether it is peer pressure, the fear of saying 'no', or the courage to admit a mistake and take responsibility for it, the author always offers children a safe space to experience and understand their own feelings. Her stories naturally open up important topics such as boundaries, self-confidence, sibling support, or healthy communication – and in a way that appeals not only to children but also to their parents.
The books can be a natural start to joint conversations about what children are truly experiencing."
Mgr. Kateřina Cidlinská, child psychologist
"I perceive both publications as exceptionally beneficial tools for working with children's emotions on a daily basis, as they sensitively and realistically outline common experiences from peer relationships and depict the internal processes and thinking of children. Through the stories of fairy-tale heroes, children learn to recognize their own feelings and bodily signals and gain guidance on how to react confidently to complex situations in everyday life.
These books non-violently build healthy self-worth, boundaries, and the child's integrity, which makes them an indispensable guide for modern parents and educators."
Mgr. Aneta Angelisová, child psychologist
