Questions parents and teachers ask

What is inside the book?

A journey in pictures. Kika packs a teddy bear into a box and follows it through the port, onto trains and trucks, through the airport, the warehouse and customs, all the way home. Along the way there is a world map to draw on, a rubber duck to find, a maze through the warehouse and a certificate with the child's own name.

Who is Kika?

Kika is the guide through the book: a friendly character in a blue cap and a blue shirt, with a walkie talkie always at hand. Kika shows children the people and machines that move things around the world.

Who made the book?

Karsten Kaya has worked in international freight forwarding and project cargo for more than 20 years and lives in Dubai. He created Kika to show the next generation how the things in their bedroom got there.

Which languages are available?

English, German and Spanish. Each edition has the same pictures and the same journey, printed and delivered through Amazon.

What age is it for?

The book is made for children aged 6 to 9. Younger children colour, older ones read along and solve the puzzles.

Is there a second Kika book?

Yes, Book 2 is on its way, starting with the German edition. Kika's rubber duck Emil is packed by mistake at a T-shirt factory in Colombia, and Kika follows his journey with Grandpa Karl, a freight forwarder in Hamburg: across the ocean, through customs, by freight train and through a warehouse to the front door. Twelve stations, each with a page that explains trade and logistics, for children aged 6 to 9. More about Book 2.
