About
Welcome to the Adventures of Carl and his best friend Teddy. In this journey of imagination, the wonders of the world are discovered by an extraordinary duo – a spirited cat and his loyal teddy bear companion. I believe in the power of storytelling to inspire, educate, and spark the imagination of young minds. With all the events in todays world, it is more important than ever to educate about diversity and acceptance to improve ones emotional intelligence from a young age. My mission is to take children on a global adventure as well as an adventure to build their personal skills by learning to ask for help, staying ambitious, being empathetic and kind, and accepting everyone the way they are. Everyone is unique and that is what makes the world a colorful place.

The book series takes the young reader to different corners of the world and introduces cultures and countries one book at a time. As every country is really diverse and unique, the book series provides distinct characteristics of each country and culture such as local food, old monuments and buildings, or native animals. Every book represents a little window to the specific country. Not only will they explore fun parts of the world but learn about friendship, bravery, courage, kindness, teamwork and much more through colorful and exciting adventures Carl and Teddy face in each book.
Carl is the star of this show; a shy but brave cat who is always up for an adventure and figures out a way to get to where he wants to be. In each book, he experiences a different adventure in a new country. His best friend Teddy is his loyal and curious travel buddy who loves to play hide and seek. When Carl is busy, Teddy explores different corners of the scene hiding behind a fruit stall in Nicaragua exploring its exotic fruits, makes friends with other camels in Egypt or picks coconuts from palm trees. However he never leaves his best friend's side when traveling and is on board for every adventure.
Together they want to explore and learn about curious artifacts, music, famous artists, exotic food in Spain, Egypt, Colombia, the United States, India and many other countries around the globe.
