BEST BIRTHDAY EVER

Category: Edition 2022

Like many five year olds, Little Charlie goes to a kindergarten and plays with his friends in the neighborhood. Little Charlie lives in safe and secure surroundings and the exciting events of his life correspond to “dramas” as experienced by small children. For example, Little Charlie is afraid of the dog Bello, whom he must pass on the way to his kindergarten. But Little Charlie’s parents help him to be self-reliant (and with only a bit of support), to investigate and understand his small child’s surroundings. Little Charlie is encouraged to be independent.
