Your City,
Your Story.
Bilingual interactive adventures where children make choices as they explore great cities. Every edition is written as its own story and connects culture, landmarks, everyday vocabulary, maps, observation and safe navigation.
Paris: The Red Notebook
A lost artist’s notebook turns the city into a clue trail from Champ de Mars and the Seine to Montmartre.
Open Paris →Vancouver: The Blue Compass
A four-direction clue trail links Stanley Park, the Seawall, False Creek and Granville Island while readers practise map legends and route choices.
Open Vancouver →London: The Silver Arrow
A river-and-landmark mystery uses Tower Bridge, the Thames, map orientation, transit diagrams and observation clues to teach how different maps solve different problems.
Open London →Tokyo: The Indigo Ticket / 東京：藍色のきっぷ
A mysterious ticket links Tokyo Station, Ueno, Asakusa and the Sumida River while readers compare transit maps, street maps, landmarks, legends and route goals.
Open Tokyo →Rome: The Bronze Key / Roma: La Chiave di Bronzo
A bronze key marked with four symbols becomes a route through architecture, geometry, water, public space, fact-checking and basic Italian city vocabulary.
Open Rome →Series principle: learn your city • learn your culture • learn your identity • learn your language. Bilingual editions use lean source text and separate language blocks rather than doubling text density over artwork.
Cairo 06 — The Golden Compass / البوصلة الذهبية
Planned as a new English/Arabic ages 6–9 adventure using river orientation, old/new city layers, public navigation, bilingual reading direction and clearly separated verified history versus fictional clue mechanics.
