A children's book for the little ones to learn and for the grown-ups to remember!

If this book were food it would be a club sandwich. Colorful, attractive, playful, brings smiles and leaves a good taste. Maybe a little unhealthy, but what isn't unhealthy anymore? Plus, it has history! The club sandwich existed before you were born. And yes, it is very similar to the life of our hero, little Kimon. Lucky is anyone who has a club sandwich in front of them and can enjoy it carefree, without guilt, until the last crumb. This is how the protagonist of our book lives, without realizing it, an authentic everyday life, full of colors, carelessness, life, games and innocent adventures, in a colorless, concrete Athens that, through him and his friends, becomes beautiful . When; 1980 and something.

An episode of his favorite TV show and a seven day wait for the next one! Unlucky; Probably lucky. Internet? Crawling… YouTube? There you go…? Netflix? Who is he? Instagram? What is this instant gram? TikTok? Are they knocking on the door? Bluetooth? Does it hurt you?

Bullets. Slingshot. Super Dominoes. Superior. Mickey Mouse. Subbuteo, pedestrian street... And yes, in the big supermarket, on Saturday, with dad. These are his toys. Video clubs are springing up in neighborhoods like mushrooms. Megabytes and 5G are not yet born. As for cell phones, they haven't been cut off from their umbilical cord and are preceded by Walkmans. If you see a drone in the sky, they are taking you to the doctor.

Guys, do these seem far away? And yet, it is very recent. Is little Kimon's world a better place? Ask dad or grandpa, I haven't decided.

Author Biography

Ο Steve Marat was born in 1974 in London. He came to Athens by air when he was four years old. He became a medical radiologist because he liked lots of buttons and colorful lights and his parents never got him an Atari. He lives in Attica, in Agios Stefanos. During this period, he calls his wife Penguina, his older daughter Trellaki and the little Paper Tape. He is very proud because he has a strawberry tree, two tomato trees, a basil tree, a lemon tree, two mandarin trees, a medlar tree, three olive trees and a plant that he thinks is a bonsai because it won't grow tall. He likes nature and swimming in a pool because he is afraid of seaweed and big fish. He still reads Mickey Mouse, especially when he is troubled, his great teacher of all time was and is Donald Duck. At school he was not good at exposition. This is his first book. He is preparing another 129 to be released in encyclopedia form when Earth is destroyed.

Yesterday Sunday a friend brought me this book. At night I told my 9-year-old son to read a story before bed. We started with the red cardigan….I ended up reading 4 more to him, it's been a long time since I've seen him laugh like that at a children's book. I laughed too. in the meantime I was moved because it brought back memories of my sweet childhood in the 80's when I grew up without old cars. Really well done to Marat… unexpectedly good”

The book and its author are real, simple and smart! For adults it is a passport to the land of the little ones and for the little ones a fantastic new friend.
I highly recommend
