Famous Robberies

Emma — Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000

As one thief wrote on the armored vault of a bank he’d just emptied: “Without weapons or violence and with no hate.” Stealing a world-famous piece of art from a museum or snatching diamonds under 24-hour surveillance: there is a certain fascination for impressive robberies. And the world has seen some truly legendary ones. Famous Robberies tells the real adventures of those who walked through walls and did the impossible. It introduces the perpetrators of infamous hits like the Great Train Robbery, the Antwerp diamond heist, or the Citibank Hack. With chapters designed in retro-newspaper style, this book will fascinate children for historical events as much as for the investigations and reporting around them.

The Path

In an ever-evolving world, the only thing to count on is change.A path is never the same path twice. Everything we experience, be it real or imagined, influences what is around us?even if the changes are sometimes too small to recognize! For three curious kids, their regular walk down their neighborhood path is an experience far from ordinary. With sketchbooks tucked under their arms and a magnifying glass in hand, each child interacts with the path in a different way, and together, they create a whole world for themselves. The Path encourages young readers to take a closer look at their surroundings and emphasizes the importance of empathy towards all living things. For readers of all ages, this book demonstrates that change is certain, but that change is good.

Dive into an exploration of these majestic mammals, one of the most fascinating animal species on the planet. You already know that whales aren’t fish, but mammals who need to breath and hold their breath under water, just like us humans? And that the blue whale grows to be longer than three buses? In The World of Whales we explore many interesting facts about these fantastic animals, looking at the habits and characteristics that make the multiple species of this family so special. From the stealthy orcas that traverse the seas, to the beautiful songs of humpbacks and the booming calls of the blue whales, we immerse ourselves in the lives of these grandiose swimmers. Join our subaquatic expedition to follow agile fins and flukes, learn about their routines, and marvel as these marine giants breach the ocean’s surface.
