Childhood Memories Inspire Digital Projects
The brand new picture books resource was officially launched a few days ago. The project called uTales has consolidated more than 1,000 professional authors and illustrators from all over the world.
uTales creator Nils von Heijne tells to dbReaders.com, that the idea of the project appeared after visiting his grandparent抯 summer house.
揑 found a few old picture books that I loved as a kid but had not seen in more than 20 years. I was amazed of how much of these books I actually remembered and it made me think how important picture books are for kids growing up. My next thought was, however, how sad it was that I had only a handful of them to inspire and educate me when I was little. So I decided to create something that would allow more children access to more great picture book? Nils von Heijne says.
While building the pirate kings hack no root uTales platform, Nils and a few friends started to invite authors and illustrators to become 搖Talers?even before uTales was ready to be launched. Most of them were from the US, but now they are from all parts of the world. 揟he first uTalers have been very helpful in creating great books for uTales, but equally important in shaping the uTales concept. We listen a great deal to our readers and uTalers when planning the future of uTales? ?Nils continues.
The creators want to make uTales a safe place for kids
