How is it best to inform children about self-discovery? How can one illustrate to children the power of kindness? These are questions answered by Manoli Pontikis, the hero of a children’s book that has been released in early June in the USA by Greek-American George Psomas.

The tome is titled “Manoli the Greek Mouse” and it is Mr Psomas’ debut children’s book.

It is the story of Manoli Pontikis, a young Greek mouse who lives in a small village in Greece with his family.

As the youngest of five he does not feel like he has a talent like his older siblings. This story follows Manoli as he journeys through his village in Greece and searches for what makes him special.
