The Invader

Picture book

It seemed like a gift for the queen of the house, but instead it’s a trap: a funny little barbarian invader hides inside.


When the family grows, the little ones of the house can feel like they’ve lost their place, their throne, experiencing the arrival of their little brother or sister like that of a barbarian invader. With this personalised story they will discover that, more than an invader, the newcomer is a friend forever.

  •  The book can be personalized with different names, genders, and ethnicities, making it an ideal gift for any occasion.

  • A funny story that uses the kingdom invasion cliché to explore a child’s acceptance of a new sibling.
