Grandpa Joseph is a real person who lived in the Poręby village, in a small wooden house roofed with
brick tiles. On one side, the house was surrounded by a slanting old fence with an ingrown bush of a
wild rose and by a forest on the other side. It was to this very place, far away from the noisy city, that
the grandchildren and swarm of kids used to come to listen to his wonderful biblical stories.

turns out, that acting brings with it many challenges, and the theater
is more than a job - it is their whole world! The book in a funny way talks about different
characters, building partner relationships. It’s about building self-identity, recognizing emotions
and openness to the needs of others.

A series of books for the youngest:
Prymulka the squirrel learns...
I am just a few years old, wind in my hair, I have a dozen of questions and a great imagination,
not to mention my crazy ideas! I suppose that if my dad liquidated the ceiling in our house I
could live together with a giraffe in it. And how about the rain? Well... I would offer an umbrella
to the giraffe! I know how to plant mushroom. And you, do you know that, too? It’s so simple!
You have to dig your daddy’s shoes in the sand and put your dolls’ hats on them! And would you
try to guess why I taught the teddy bear to walk? I obviously taught him that to take him to the
pool! But I will not tell you how to make a kite – it’s my little secret! I only can tell you that you can
spend every single day in an interesting way. Take care, Mireczka.
