For grown-ups
What is inside each Jaziba story, and how to share it with your little one.
What every episode includes
- A short film of about three minutes. The words of the book appear on screen and stay long enough to read together.
- A picture book of sixteen pages, one picture and one or two short sentences per page. Read it here or download the eBook as a PDF, plus a high-resolution version for printing at home.
- A picture puzzle made from the book’s pages (coming soon).
- An audiobook of the story read aloud, with pauses between pages (coming soon).
How each story works
Every story follows the same gentle shape, so children learn to expect it:
- Meet Jaziba and what she has.
- A small test comes along.
- She hesitates. We hear what she is thinking, in her own words.
- She chooses well, even when nobody is watching.
- A quiet reward, often one the reader spots before she does.
- One closing line to remember. It is the only time the story gives a lesson.
Talking about it together
- Pause on the page where Jaziba hesitates. Ask: what do you think she will do?
- After the story: what did Jaziba choose? What would you have done?
- Look back through the pictures for the reward hiding before Jaziba sees it.
- Say the last line together. Can you think of a time it was true for you?
