Here I Come!
Here I Come! (Eju meklēt!)
Hide-and-seek is a game children love to play no matter where they live in the world. Imagination plays an active part in figuring out just the right hiding place and also knowing where to look when it’s time to be the one searching. This book is about a little girl named Vilma
who plays hide-and-seek with her dad. On each page the reader can open little doors and see who’s hiding behind them. The relatively large size of the book makes it possible to fully experience Vilma’s imaginative world, full of many interesting things from the everyday reality of the apartment. The story is enriched by rhymes, which are useful when starting to play hide-and-seek.

The Republic of Bears (Lāču republika)
Minister of Strategic Planning gets up on the wrong side of the bed and is late for the Cabinet Ministers’ meeting. He blames it on a little bear cub, causing him to miss his ride. At the meeting he suddenly remembers: The bear! Now, that is the real issue! The Minister exclaims in a booming voice: “Respected colleagues! We have a terrible situation in our capital city! There are bears wandering the streets!” Ministers are concerned about violating private property and offer to buy the bears. The Cabinet agrees to request co-financing from the EU to relocate the bears and form a working group.
