2026 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS FINALIST - Children's Mind/Body/Spirit
What if your children could travel 50,000 years into the past while mastering human evolution, biodiversity, and empathy?
This trilogy meticulously combines REAL SCIENCE with IMAGINATIVE ADVENTURE to create a compelling experience that captivates while it educates. Based on the real discovery of Homo floresiensis in Indonesia, it transports young readers to a world where the tiny is extraordinary and every question plants a seed of knowledge.
THE UNIQUE CORE OF THIS WORK:
- REAL SCIENCE, FASCINATING ADVENTURE: Each episode seamlessly integrates genuine archaeological and paleontological discoveries with an engaging narrative that keeps children learning about evolution, biodiversity, and prehistoric ecosystems.
- RELATABLE PROTAGONISTS: MaryAnn and Gael are curious children from the near future who use special technology to virtually explore the life of Florencia, a Homo floresiensis girl. Their complementary personalities (she is emotional and creative, he is analytical and methodical) model different, valid approaches to knowledge.
- VALUES ON EVERY PAGE: Cooperation, respect, critical thinking, empathy, environmental stewardship, and the preservation of historical memory are woven naturally into the storyline.
COMPLETE TRILOGY CONTENTS:
- Book I: The Awakening of the Roots
- Book II: The Song of the Storms
- Book III: Beyond the Waves
- Illustrated Glossary and Author's Scientific Note
PERFECT FIT FOR:
- Shared parent-child reading (Ages 7-12)
- School projects on evolution and prehistory
- Youth book clubs
- School and family libraries
- A lasting educational gift
A TOOL FOR EDUCATORS to introduce anthropology and evolution accessibly, foster scientific thinking, develop historical and cultural empathy, integrate STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math), and promote creative writing grounded in scientific facts.
MaryAnn opened her notebook of 'Things That Could Change the World' and wrote: Name: Homo floresiensis. And underneath: Florencia. Because every great story, before it blossoms, begins as a seed.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Scientific vocabulary explained in context
- Diverse and multicultural characters
- References to real archaeological discoveries
- Episodic structure ideal for daily reading
- Reflections that invite family dialogue
- SPECIAL EDITION: the complete trilogy in a single volume, carefully revised for narrative continuity and a fluid reading experience while keeping the original essence of each book intact
WHY INVEST IN THIS TRILOGY?
Because in a world saturated with empty entertainment, Tiny Giants offers something invaluable: an adventure that nourishes the mind, touches the heart, and plants in young readers the conviction that their questions matter, that science is fascinating, and that even the smallest being can change the world.
Because to imagine is to remember the future. And every time someone dares to look with wonder, a story awakens.
Give your children or students the gift of an adventure that will turn them into explorers of knowledge. The Tiny Giants Trilogy is waiting.
