Description

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.

Features

  • Theme: Imagination, Space, Sharing, Adventure
  • Style: Tender, dreamy, and full of imagination.
  • Age: 3+ years (According to the publisher)

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.

    I want to start by saying that this is Christina's first book that I have read and I truly regret not having read her previous ones (YET)! Christina, besides being an author, is also a kindergarten teacher who loves children! If you don't know it, you can tell from the first lines of this book! This book will make every child who is starting a new phase in their life feel safe! They will understand that the changes happening or about to happen around them will bring them joy! A book that will teach children to stop hiding under their blankets and use them as superhero capes!

    Undoubtedly, Christina Konstantoudaki is among the most talented and active writers of her generation. And in this book, she managed to touch us, tenderly, with her pen, the concept of friendship, socialization, and teamwork. A tender and sweet book, ideal for all children who are going to school for the first time and need encouragement.

    I don't know if there is a mom who didn't feel anxiety and worry about her child's adjustment when they started school.. Inside this bag, I fit blankets, a pillow, stuffed animals so that the child can feel safe..
    Stavros is a beautiful boy who shows us the way for a smooth transition!!
    Congratulations to the author!!
