WickWick Launches Fourth Book in Its War and Peace Picture Book Series for Children
from Global Economic Press · host Global Economic Press
In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the innovative approach of Finnish publisher WickWick, which is using children's picture books to tackle complex global issues such as war, peace, and displacement. The series, authored by Dr. Tuula Pere, includes titles like "Lullaby of the Valley," "Between the Walls," "Raspberry Red," and the latest addition, "Mother's Bread Dough." These books aim to provide young readers with a language to understand and discuss these challenging subjects. The series has gained international recognition, with Arabic editions being launched at a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, highlighting its global reach and impact. The books are part of WickWick's broader multilingual program and have been published in multiple languages, including English, Finnish, and Swedish. The series has also caught the attention of the Muslim Council of Elders, leading to an agreement for worldwide Arabic translation and publishing rights. Dr. Tuula Pere, a two-time Outstanding Creator Awards Author of the Year, draws on historical events and personal stories to craft narratives that resonate with children and adults alike.
