Experience an epic chess showdown against an ever-hungry puppy...

Nothing beats a game of chess on a hot and hazy summer afternoon. No one knows this better than sisters Kata and Meli. With their chess board laid out and plenty of lemonade by their side, the sisters are looking forward to a relaxing day outside...but what they didn't plan on was the voracious appetite of the pet dog Charlie, who is intent on wrecking their match and literally eating all of their chess pieces.

Just when they think they have finally gotten away from Charlie, they are transported to a magical chessboard, populated with an assortment of backyard critters - field mice, a doe, even a praying mantis. Kata and Meli will have to carefully formulate a strategy if they are ever going to reign triumphant. What will it take to overcome Charlie's voracious appetite?

A fun way to learn about chess...


CHECKMATE, CHARLIE features fun, vibrant illustrations with an imaginative storyline that will help spark a child's interest in chess. Chess is being taught in more and more classrooms across the world as a way to help increase a child's focus and concentration. Mindfulness, careful observation, strategy formulation, planning ahead - these are all aspects of a child's cognitive development that will be enhanced with learning chess. CHECKMATE, CHARLIE includes an appendix that very simply describes the rules of chess


Paperback Edition

181-bedtimestorytext.png

Goodnight Moon has sold over 48 million copies and has been translated into at least 14 languages.  Sadly, this classic bedtime story has never been translated into Ukrainian...until now.   Together, let's translate and publish Goodnight Moon in Ukrainian and share it with Ukrainian children across the world.

 

Intended to set the stage for a night of sweet dreams, the Ukrainian edition of Goodnight Moon is now more relevant than ever for the children of Ukraine.  Forced to leave their homes as a result of a heart-wrenching war, these children have lost everything - their homes, their sense of security, and their way of life.  No child should have to endure such torment.  No child should be deprived of a night of sweet dreams.  And so, the war in Ukraine has given this translation campaign a new sense of urgency.  If we hit our minimum printing target goal, we will print at least 3,000 copies for the young children who have been displaced from their homes in Ukraine as well as for the maternity ward in Kyiv.  (If we exceed our goal, we'll be able to donate even more books!)

In the midst of uncertainty and chaos, the simplicity and calmness of Goodnight Moon will send a powerful message of relief to the children of the Ukraine and let them know that they are not alone.  We hope that this book will bring together children all across the globe - peering out to the same moon in the night sky.
