Deze serie boeiende verhalen duikt in de wereld vanuit het perspectief van een kind, met een brutale en onvoorspelbare humor. De personages belanden vaak in buitengewone situaties die hun humor en rechtvaardigheidsgevoel op de proef stellen. Elk avontuur biedt een uniek inkijkje in de kindertijd, gevuld met lachen, onverwachte wendingen en een diep begrip van wat het betekent om jong te zijn. Deze verhalen zijn levendig, irreverent en eerlijk, en vermijden sentimentaliteit om de vreugde van ontdekking te vieren.
