Children expect the earth from their fathers. They have to be able to conjure up games from thin air, to answer every question under the sun, to skim stones, and tell bedtime stories. Such perfect dads may exist. For the rest of us, there is DAD STUFF. DAD STUFF is packed with great things to do with kids. Some new, some traditional: how to learn to ride a bike without tears; how to play the spoons; a rainy afternoon's supply of knock knock jokes; a selection of magic tricks and how to answer 'Dad, where do babies come from?' There is a range of ideas to suit all situations -- games, puzzles, practical jokes and spooky urban myths. Not all dads are walking encyclopaedias and DAD STUFF will provide an easily recalled mine of useful and useless information with which kids can amaze their friends. Dads never need to be stuck for ideas again.

Lost in Lumo tells the story of Mina, a girl who meets a shaggy, silent creature called Lumo at an abandoned bus stop. Together they spend fleeting moments in a seemingly ruined city that still seems to breathe. A melancholy picture book about loss, memory, and things that remain. It presents loose fragments, thoughts, images and speaks quietly of parting and the comfort that often sits where no one is waiting. Lost in Lumo leaves room for interpretation and is like a diary of the unspeakable. It is not necessarily intended for children, but for people who can still feel like children or wish to feel that way again. The story and imagery evolved through an experimental, collaborative process with an AI, but were fully curated, edited, and illustrated by hand. The picture book was originally written in English and has so far only been translated into German.
