Browse the different themes below and choose the right children’s story for you or your family.
Denounce the injustices done to women, tell stories of girls in so-called boy's roles and vice versa, read about princesses who are not content to wait for Prince Charming and reverse sexist clichés! Also tell the story of those immigrants who left their country of origin fleeing misery, sometimes war or prison because of their religion or their political opinion.
Without forgetting also the timeless classics, the documentaries to learn, the stories of animals, ogres and witches, the stories that make you laugh, the stories of love, friendship or the traditional tales from here and elsewhere.
