Bianca Batanas: With her first children´s book, Bianca Batanas want to convey to children from the very beginning that they are perfect just the way they came into this world. Originally, she had no intention of writing a book. But a stroke of fate in the form of a serious illness awakened in her the desire to write a story that would give her six-year-olf daughter strength and self-confidence she will need to lead a happy and, above all, self-determined life. For this, she chose the five positive beliefs that she believes are most important for nuturing self-love. In addition to the book, the main character of the story, heart-child Paul, is also available as a cuddly companion to cuddle and love. Her vision is that the topics of self-love and mindfulness find a place in kindergartens and elementary schools. She wants to support this vision with her book and enjoys visiting kindergartens and elementary schööls to raise even more awareness for these topics. "You can´t start early enough to listen to your heart, trust your gut, and love yourself." (Bianca Batanas)
