He longed to buzz freely through the air, and explore the earth with long and strong wings. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade! Take off on Nighthawk's adventure as he goes in search of happiness, and discover how helping others can help you! --------------------------- Nighthawk: La Historia del Mosquito sin Alas. Nighthawk era un mosquito especial. Tan especial que nació sin alas. Pero cómo deseaba ser como los demás. Anhelaba zumbar libremente por el aire y explorar la tierra con unas alas largas y fuertes. Cuando la vida te da limones, ¡haces limonada! ¡Embárcate en la aventura de Nighthawk en busca de la felicidad y descubre cómo ayudar a los demás puede ayudarte a ti mismo! -------------------- ]Children who are lucky enough to get their hands on Nighthawk: The Tale of a Flightless Mosquito In a gaily illustrated and narrated book, Kike Calvo's message comes to life as we delve into the story: the importance of helping others becomes palpable, and it is accompanied by the universal idea of overcoming the odds. Nighthawk's story is similar to my own, to my adaptation process to a new prosthesis. I hope that no child or adult will forget that even if it is hard for us, we must all accept ourselves as we are, and that, as we walk, we must help others.] -- El Biblioburro. ]While reading the story of the mosquito, I couldn't help but remember my own when I lost a leg in an accident with one of my donkeys. What surprised me the most when I learned about the background of this story is that when Kike wrote the original manuscript, he was only 10 years old, the same age as many of the children I share the love of reading with. I can't wait to see how these stories illuminate the lives of thousands of children, encouraging them to overcome the adversities that life will present.] -- El Biblioburro.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eva the Adventurer Eva is a bright, determined girl with a bountiful imagination. She fills each day with adventures, squeezing in as much as she can before bedtime. A trip to moon, cure a rare disease, drive a train? Absolutely. What will today bring? --- What gender stereotypes? Our princess is more likely to save herself than to wait for her prince. She'll be train driving, rocketship flying, and opera singing. We hope girls and boys will not be held back by gender stereotypes, and we strive to portray positive gender examples. --- Supporting Children's Charities + NKH Research Our books support children with NonKetotic Hyperglycinemia, a rare and terminal metabolic disorder. It's hard to explain what NKH is like, as a parent. To watch your baby have countless seizures, miss every milestone and live an incredibly medicalised life. The pain and suffering are heartbreaking. The fear and grief can be overwhelming. So we have our hope in a cure. Specifically a gene therapy cure. Even more specifically, a cure currently in development by Prof. Nick Greene of UCL in London, UK. We believe he is the closest to a clinical trial. The closest to giving us a future with our son. Because NKH is so rare (less than 40 children in the UK, less than 500 worldwide) there is little to no awareness. There is little to no funding for research. So we, as parents fund what can. Through local fundraisers, and events and raffles. And children's books. All our books support Team Mikaere and Joseph's Goal - a charity for children with Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia. Thank you for helping fund a cure for our children. --- Available in bilingual form! Sometimes, one parent can speak a language the other doesn't, and bedtime stories shouldn't suffer because of it. Sharing the love of languages and learning is a priority for us - all our books will be available in bilingual forms. Currently available in English and French, Dutch, Spanish, German and Serbian. More languages coming soon! ---
