Unable to convince your children there is no reason to be frightened of the dark?
Do you keep trying to convince them to brush their teeth but are not succeeding?
Do you wish to tell them a special story?

Then this app is for you! Truly, this app is simultaneously an e-book and an audio book, where two stories - taken from the Italian book Don’t Trample on Dreams – Stories to Grow Up On” - are told simply and directly, with no need for special effects or features, because the true special effect is getting in touch with our children using fantasy as a bridge between their world and ours.

These stories are examples of how it is possible to tackle everyday problems in a fanciful and attention-getting way, thus creating the complicity between adults and children that is often missing. They can also be occasions to remind adults that fantasy often is the best means to help children “understand”.
