Dad Creates First-Of-Its-Kind Magical Book To Teach His Son An Important Lesson
What would you do for your kid? Nikola Raykov, an inspired father turned author, created a unique book to teach his son that the choices we all make are ultimately our own responsibility.
The Big Adventure of the Little Gremlin allows kids to create their own fairy-tale. “It engages the little ones more than regular books and sparks their imagination,” says the writer.
Although gamebooks exist since the eighties, Raykov’s GameTale seems to be the first original gamebook for little kids. The first two books in the series have become immensely popular in their home country – Bulgaria. They turned into an instant best-seller and won over 10 awards and nominations.
Raykov worries about the ever-thinning relationship between parents and children. “I have a strong bond with my son and I hope those books will inspire parents to read and play with their kids. I promise them stories filled with humor and adventures, but above all – empathy, kindness and understanding.” Now Nikola Raykov is releasing his GameTales worldwide for free, hoping to make a difference in the lives of children and parents alike.
