ILVIE LITTLE - empowering kids
How did Ilvie Little become so iconic? We're not quite sure actually what our little fans love most: The courageous and independent ex-elf Ilvie Little, the exciting and funny adventure story, the fact that there's no *boy's stuff and girl's stuff* - some of them say, the brilliant captain Leonie is the coolest, all are really fond of Carlos, the most fantastic ship's cook of all oceans (as Theo says), some love Amelie, the clever navigator the best - most of them are fond of Theo, Ilvie's funny monkey friend. But just scroll down a bit and see our books and read what big and small people say. And if you want to learn more about our reasons and our mission, why we have a superpower kid's fashion collection lacking a *boys* or *girls* departement, why we plant trees and support the female communities in Nepal - and why we're not just a publishing company - PLEASE JUST CLICK HERE!
a magical adventure...
THE STORY
ILVIE & THEO
Ilvie Little is curious, courageous, and an elf. An ex-elf, to be exact. Just flying around in the land of the elves is way too boring for her! She wants to have adventures, do new things, meet new people - and see how they lived in the world outside.
She convinces her best friend Theo, the little red monkey, to come along. Theo is quite an untypical monkey: He hates climbing, loves strawberry cup-cakes, thinks bananas are horrible - but what he hates most of all: Adventures. Phew! How scary! How exhausting!
Though - in a really week moment (Theo had just gobbled down five-or-six strawberry cupcakes) - the little monkey agrees to come along. Ilvie's howl of pleasure was the loudest the land of the elves have ever heard!At the big gate, Ilvie gives back her elf wings and all her magical elven powers. Now she is like a normal human child. Well, almost. She's allowed to keep one ability...

WHO IS ON BOARD THE PIRATE SHIP ANASTASIA?
THE ILVIE LITTLE CREW
ILVIE LITTLE
THE CURIOUS EXPLORER
Ilvie Little used to be an elf. But just flying around in the land of the elves being happy all the time was much too boring for her. So, one day she decides to leave the lovely land of the elves, pass through the big elf gate, and explore the outside world. Adventures! Ilvie wants to meet new people, do new things - and see how people live in the world outside...
theo
the rather unusual little monkey
Gluttonous and a bit lazy, Theo generally is against adventures. Pooh! Adventures! That sounds like a lot of work. Theo's favourite thing to is to lie in the meadow with the sun shining on his belly and eat strawberry cupcakes. - But...things took a different turn...
LEONIE
THE BRILLIANT CAPTAIN
This is Leonie, by the toothless Sphyraena! Leonie is the captain of the Anastasia. Her great-grandmother Grace used to be a very famous pirate... and Grace left behind a big hidden treasure... and a map that no one ever found... Leonie just LOVES to swear, and her swearing sounds really rough. Please feel free to dig out your favourite latin dictionary... - by the grass-green, one-legged Amphiprion!
amelie
the clever navigator
Amelie is the navigator of the Anastasia. - She definitely is one of the bravest little girls Ilvie and Theo have ever met. - And she's very smart as well: When the bad pirates try to attack them - for the second time!! - and their ship is bigger and faster! - Amelie uses her navigation skills to outplay them. In the beginning, Amelie really thinks that she's actually a scaredy cat.. Hahaa! ...how terribly wrong she was!
CARLOS & sammy
THE FANTASTIC SHIP'S COOK and his grumpy and though very sweet little dog
Carlos is the best ship's cook the world has ever seen! (Quote: Theo.) - Wherever the crew of the Anastasia sails to - Carlos always finds some new ingredients on the islands to try out some newly invented receipes. Sammy, his little dog that you can see on his shirt, agrees with Theo. - But that's one of the only things the little monkey and the little dog agree on...
"The message of not letting your gender stand in the way of what you want to do is an important one for kids to absorb. Stemmer's descriptions of life onboard the vessel Anastasia are so vivid: I was instantly transported out to sea. I wish I could twinkle with my pets! Kids will anxiously await the next book in the series!"
