Why Parents Love Napo Books
Reviews
“Napo in London" is a delightful book! The illustrations are vibrant and colourful, perfect for capturing young readers' attention. It’s educational, just the right amount for children. I like the subtle messages woven through the story - they never feel preachy.
The geographic references highlight London's famous landmarks in a fun way, as Napo and Freddie explore the city and grow closer as friends. It's adorable! I also appreciate the activities section, filled with simple, fun projects that make the book more interactive.
It's a great way to get children involved. A story is lovely, there is something special about feeling like you are part of it too! You really start to feel like Napo's friend by the end!"
M. Dolley, August 2022, London
"I thoroughly enjoyed 'Napo's Adventures in London'.
The author does a fantastic job of describing landmarks,
like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, making it both
educational and enjoyable for younger readers.
Marta Grigorieva is an incredibly talented artist, and her work really shines in this book. Napo is absolutely adorable - cheeky, happy go lucky, a little mischievous, but always charming.
I especially loved the twist where Napo travels back in time
and learns an important lesson... but you'll have to read the book to find out what happens!"-

The Orphanage Book Project:
The Grace of Giving with Napo -
Spreading Joy Through Art and Imagination.
"In a world where far too many children grow up without the warmth of their own storybook, the Orphanage Book Project by Napo Books shines as a beacon of creativity and compassion. Conceived by the gifted painter Marta Grigorieva, this initiative transforms art into a source of happiness and wonder. At the heart of the project is Napo, a curious and spirited Cavalier King Charles Spaniel whose illustrated adventures invite children to dream, imagine and explore. These playful yet purposeful stories are designed to nurture imagination, teach empathy and inspire young hearts to find beauty in the world around them. Through Napo Books, we share this joy by donating books to charities and orphanages around the world, so underprivileged children can enjoy fun activities with Napo - drawing, colouring, learning about geography and famous landmarks - and, most importantly, feeling loved and valued. Each Napo Book allows children to sketch, colour and take part in storytelling. But beyond art and play, the books carry a profound mission - to reach children in orphanages across the globe who might otherwise never experience the simple joy of owning a book of their own."
