About the book

Welcome to the World is a fantastic introduction to the wonderful and sometimes strange world that your new human has been born into. 

Young eyes will love seeing the vibrant colors and shapes while toddlers will enjoy recognizing their favorite friendly animals. 

It is also a book created with new parents in mind. Grown-ups will enjoy reading the simple text aloud to their little ones and find an inspiring message to cherish themselves.

Created for little heroes, whatever their origins

When creating the book, you can choose your little one’s skin and hair color as well as dress them up in one of four cuddly animal outfits. 

To make the gift extra special, you can also choose your hero’s parents, be they Mommy and Daddy, two Mommies, two Daddies, just Mommy or just Daddy. Every family can feel welcome in this world.

For the parents too

Just as not all children look the same, not all families look the same either, so, in Welcome to the World, you have the option to choose your little one’s parents as well creating the child themselves. 

The parents are illustrated abstractly in the book and are not referred to by any specific gender in the text, so feel free to choose any combination which works best for you and makes your little one feel most welcome in the world.

About the illustrator

Ekaterina Savic is an illustrator with a deep love for drawing. After five years as an architect, she traded blueprints for pencils and brushes and followed her dream. Inspired by her grandfather, who drew cartoons for his amateur films, she now illustrates children’s books, board games, and other creative projects. She lives with her family in Zug, where, as an illustrator and a mom, she creates new worlds every day while always keeping her inner child alive.
