The book “Josephine” is an illustrated story that speaks about personal liberation: “We have to get rid of everything we know to imagine and accept whatever new is coming … Our daily actions lay the foundation for societies to come.” Josephine. A pathway to freedom is an illustrated tale for grownups that narrates the story of a young woman and her life path towards freedom. More than that, it aims to inspire its readers to never give up looking for the pure essence of their precious self.

Ecological Community is the perfect guide to teach ecological fundamentals to children aged 6-11. The book enables children to realize their ability to solve a diverse range of problems they face, from the lack of a volleyball court in the neighbourhood to climate change. Sophia, Jack, Lily, Nick, Mila, Leo, and Nora are all friends living in the same neighbourhood where they want to open a cafe, but they need money for that. What can they do? They share things they do not need in their homes with those who need them, visit shopkeepers and cooperate with them, meet with staff in the neighbourhood who help, for example, the firefighters or the police officers, and they do not forget to play games!

This opens the door to creating a habitable world by explaining the basic principles of ecology.
