★The Good Manners Academy for Kids turned into a best-seller in Bulgaria for just two months (it premiered in December 2019) as the first 5,000 copies sold for this amount of time. By June 2021 the book has sold a total of 22,000 copies in 4 print-runs，which is a significant achievement for a book debut on the Bulgarian market. The Good Manners Academy for Kids remained national best-seller during the quarantine period topping all local charts for children's and teens books. It ranked 4th in the 2020 annual children's literature chart of Bulgaria's Amazon equivalent. Target groups are both ages 4-8 and 9-12.
★Following the huge success of The Good Manners Academy for Kids, in September 2020 we published a companion book on the topic.

The Good Manners Academy for Kids is a book about rules. Not the rules that put limits, but the ones that give freedom - the freedom to know what to do and to be able to do it, to be yourself and to find good friends. The freedom to choose to be special.
Each chapter of the book is about a different topic related to etiquette. It contains curious facts (ex. the origin of the handshake) told by a narrator (a teacher character based on author of the book Nevena Bassarova), which creates the effect of a story book, then small comic-like dialogues between the two main characters - a boy and a girl, and finally a practical exercise for young readers to do (ex. try to carry a book on your head to improve your posture).

Through fun stories, practical hints and beautiful illustrations this book will help every child find out how to:
Make a good impression
