I am a small blanket and I have a huge sun with planets on me! Stavros loves me very much and takes me everywhere with him, even to school! The only thing is… he hides behind me when someone talks to him.
But when the children play a game in the classroom, Stavros will transform into a space superhero with many friends!
A book about the first days at school and the transitional objects that more introverted children often need to feel confident and safe in a new environment.

Suitable for:
An ideal bedtime book, as the story begins from Jason's bed and travels into dreams and outer space. It is an excellent choice for children who love planets, spaceships, and aliens, and also a great opportunity to talk about generosity and the joy of sharing.
Why This Book Is Special:
- It transforms a simple, everyday object (a blanket) into a magical vehicle, showing children the power of their imagination.
- The illustrations by Petros Christoulias are dreamy and "space-like," full of colors that captivate the eye.
- It gently addresses the important theme of sharing and friendship, without being didactic.
- It is a story that "builds" on the bedtime routine, turning it into an adventure instead of a chore.
Suggestions for use by parents or educators:
- Use it as a starting point to discuss what it means to be generous and how we feel when we share.
- Encourage the child to recognize Jason's feelings: How does he feel at the beginning of the adventure? How does he feel when he is asked for the blanket?
- Ideal for developing narrative skills by asking the child to describe what they see in the space illustrations.
With the book you can:
-
Discuss: What else could Jason do with his magic blanket? Where else could he travel?
-
Ask the child: "What is your favorite object that you would turn into a spaceship?", "What would you do if aliens asked you for your favorite toy?"
-
Play/Create: Take your own blanket and make your own "spaceship" in the living room! Draw your own imaginary aliens and give them funny names.
