It all starts with just a simple and special envelope that your brave kid will receive by post and with an inspiring quote: “We need to spread the world with love“.

Inside, the magic continues with the book  “Cuando yo lo decida” (when I say so), a hard-book illustrated by Dani Torrent, a talented and experienced kids illustrator for more than 15 years, and written by Macarena Moraña.

“Cuando yo lo decida” is a beautiful history that will help brave kids overcome by themselves any fear (scary monsters, dark places). As it is a personalized book, you can describe any scary situation for your child. This pre-based story can be adapted to your child’s needs and you can include all kinds of personal information: names, photos, inside cover, texts…

Kids will see themselves as the leading role of the book, and will understand that they are brave and kind, and that they have the strength to overcome those fears. The book allows them also to be able to draw what is scary for them.

The book includes this amazing quote by Nelson Mandela: “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

Also, you can personalize the dedication of the book, and in our case the book was a gift between our sons. This is in my opinion what really makes Mundo Cronopio special. It is an everlasting gift to those we love. It seems that nowadays only technology can attract our attention, but kids still love to read a good story and they enjoy it even more if they are the leading roles.

I love to find books that pass-on values, that help kids discover their amazing interior power, how brave they are and how they can change their own world.

With a Computer Science degree, it all started at the end of 2010 when Macarena built a toy kitchen out of pallets for her own children, and published the result in her blog, when all of a sudden she began receiving orders.

What initially was an entertainment for her, has now become her passion and her way of living. In 2013 she builds her workshop, and currently she exports her products internationally (worldwide, to more than 15 countries)

There is no doubt whatsoever that the most wanted product of Macarena´s whole catalogue is her kitchen.

Macarena offers three different sizes in her kitchens, in order to suit any space or any age: Pettite, 50 cm; Bam, 60 cm; and Gulliver, 70 cm.

But, what makes her kitchens so special, is that there are not 2 alike. Macarena creates custom made kitchen that can suit any customer’s demand (parent or child), so each kitchen is really an unique piece.

You can see the excitement in every kitchen made by Macarena Bilbao, each detail is carefully hand made, enviromentally friendly and customized to every client´s taste.

All the manufacturing is enviromentally friendly, and each toy is made with FSC (Forest Stewardship Counsil) pine boards form controlled forests. Also, the paints used are water based with low VOC levels.

Macarena is now very excited with her new challenge: a doll house that is now designing in collaboration with interior designer Rebeca Terrón. Although still a prototype, we will soon find it in her catalogue.

This is a beautiful video (in Spanish) in which they explain now to enjoy the experience of creating a personalized and unique book:

The books by Mundo Cronopio are a unique and lifelong gift. They are pre-made stories that can be easily and quickly personalized by adding names, changing text, or including photos and pictures. They have many different themes and they are all pre-written and thought so you can adapt them and tell your own story.

We chose  “The Secret of…”, a beautiful story about a magical grandfather written by Macarena Moraña and illustrated by Judit Frigola.

Reading to our children creates a special bond between parents and sons, and helps our children develop their imagination. Creating together a book is much more interesting: we have searched together for the most appropriate words, thought of the anecdotes to be included, and expressed our feelings together.

The whole process is quick and easy, as the text is really fantastic and we only had to include our names, details, upload some photos and pictures that are important for us as a family.

If you would like to order a special gift for a grandfather, uncle, godfather, or any other magical person in your life, I personally think that this book could be a great option. Mundo Cronopio offers both digital and physical options for any of their books. We choose the physical book and we received it inside an envelope with this beautiful photo and message:
