The stories deal with the kinds of questions and difficulties that children face every day. They offer understanding in such matters as honesty, respect for others, difference, tenacity, exercise, cooperation, respect for nature, bullying, stranger danger, forgiveness, trustworthiness, responsibility, loyalty, loss and grief — and many other areas that are challenging to young children.

Their message is captured in this simple phrase: “We may look different but we feel the same.”
Méli et Mélo books provide the shared adventures and experiences of a group of friends through beautifully told and illustrated stories. They are also excellent early readers and provide good literature for teachers, children, and parents. Life Skills and Character Education are woven implicitly through each story.
