TALES FOR WISE CHILDREN

Horace, the Crow Who Flew East

Horace, an adventurous crow, stumbles upon a piece of exquisite matcha cake that leaves him craving for more. Determined to discover the origins of this delectable treat, Horace embarks on an epic journey across Europe, tasting its myriad delights along the way. Amidst his adventures, he befriends Lime, a vibrant parrot shunned by a murder of crows due to his unique plumage. Together, with the guidance of Tsuru, a melancholic crane, they venture towards the heart of matcha’s homeland: Japan.

The Mysterious Bear of Whispering Meadows

In the tranquil pastures, whispers of an elusive bear stir curiosity among the sheep. With tales of its ever-changing appearance, the bear becomes an enigma. Some claim it’s brown; others are convinced it’s a white bear with piercing blue eyes. Young Daisy, with her vivid imagination, believes the bear is a prince trapped by a wicked witch’s curse. Is this bear real, or just a figment of tales? Only the meadows hold the answer, as the mystery remains unsolved for the flock.
