Thumbelina

A translation of Hans Christian Andersen's "Tommelise" by Jean Hersholt.

There once was a woman who wanted so very much to have a tiny little child, but she did not know where to find one. So she went to an old witch, and she said:

"I have set my heart upon having a tiny little child. Please could you tell me where I can find one?"

"Why, that's easily done," said the witch. "Here's a grain of barley for you, but it isn't at all the sort of barley that farmers grow in their fields or that the chickens get to eat. Put it in a flower pot and you'll see what you shall see."

Give your Inner Child a Kimochi!

Kimochi (KEY.MO.CHEE) means "feeling" in Japanese.

And that's what Kimochis are all about...

Feelings can be mixed and messy...

Kimochis can help!

They are cuddly, educational and interactive toys that help children learn how to identify and express their emotions and helps other people better understand them. Kimochis enable us to learn how to be better communicators and to express our feelings.

Fada Moranga loves witty Paul!

Paul Bommer in his own words

"A professional free-lance Illustrator and Graphic Designer,

based in London's East End.

A graduate of the National College of Art & Design, Dublin.

A love of simple marks, and the feel and form of words.

A strong & witty graphic sense.

An irreverent sideways look at life."

Paul Bommer’s “Superstition N.2”

That thing we're told as kids:

If you swallow an apple seed a tree will grow in your stomach... :-)
