NEW COVER! ❤❤❤
Unfortunately, the first cover is not suitable for the printed books, as the printer can be off by 2–3 millimeters from the intended dimensions. As a result, all the test prints turned out flawed, and I wouldn’t feel comfortable releasing them—so the physical books are still not available at this time.
I’ve decided that the long, back-and-forth process of redesigning with the publisher wasn’t getting us anywhere. As charming as the first cover was, in the end, I created an entirely new one because the previous version had too many printing issues.
It would have required millimeter-perfect printing, which is obviously impossible—what looked great digitally just didn’t translate to print. So I rethought the whole concept and made a new type of cover, as you can see.
With this beautiful new version, it no longer matters if the edges are trimmed exactly to the template or if there’s a slight shift—it won’t be noticeable, and it won’t count as a printing error.
From now on, this version is available everywhere, and it will be used for the printed editions in all three languages 🙂

HURKI’S ADVENTURES ARE NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN GERMAN! ❤
The books are immediately available as eBooks, but the printed versions are on their way, stay tuned, they will be arriving soon!
I’ve decided to take this charming little educational storybook on an international journey, so in addition to English, it’s now also available in GERMAN. It’s also excellent for language learning if you get two books in different languages, as I made sure to keep the translation faithful to the original (Hungarian) text, of course with phrases suited to both English and German. Soon, the physical German version will be available as well, in a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, the eBook is already available at a very affordable price, check it out!
You can read the recommendation on the back of the book here in GERMAN, as a little preview:
Eine spannende und herzerwärmende Geschichte über Wurst, den kleinen Yorkie, dessen rotes Ball gestohlen wurde! Als er der Spur des Diebes folgt, begibt er sich auf eine Reise in die wundersame Welt der Waldbewohner.
Dieses Buch ist wunderschön illustriert, unterhaltsam und voller faszinierender, nützlicher Informationen, was es zu einer sowohl erfreulichen als auch bereichernden Lektüre für alle macht.
Wurst, der mutige kleine Yorkie, wird nicht ruhen, bis er sein Lieblingsspielzeug wiederfindet – doch auf seinem Weg trifft er auf Tiere, von denen er nie zu träumen gewagt hätte. Ein Igel, ein Eichhörnchen, ein Wolf, eine Eule und viele andere helfen ihm oder stellen in vor Herausforderungen, während er dem mysteriösen Dieb auf der Spur bleibt.
Wer könnte der schelmische Unruhestifter des Waldes sein? Und wird Wurst jemals seinen geliebten roten Ball wiederfinden?
Wenn du fröhliche, abenteuerliche und bedeutungsvolle Geschichten liebst, dann ist dieses Buch genau das Richtige für dich!

I am beyond thrilled to announce that my first book is now available in English, and the German edition is coming soon! The eBook version is available immediately, and the printed editions are on their way—just a little more patience, and they’ll be in your hands soon!
This book was inspired by the personality and memory of my very first puppy, whom I still adore with all my heart. I want his memory to be eternal and alive, which is why I want to share his story with you—and write more books about him in the future.
In the meantime, the eBook is already available at a great price—go check it out!
You can read the English version of the book’s back cover blurb here as a little teaser:
An exciting and heartwarming story about Sausage, the little Yorkie, whose red ball has been stolen! As he follows the thief’s trail, he embarks on a journey into the wondrous world of forest animals.
This book is beautifully illustrated, entertaining, and filled with fascinating, useful information, making it both a delightful and enriching read for everyone.
Sausage, the brave little Yorkie, won’t rest until he finds his favourite toy—but along the way, he encounters animals he never even dreamed of meeting. A hedgehog, a squirrel, a wolf, an owl, and many others either help or challenge him as he tracks down the mysterious thief.
Who could the mischievous troublemaker of the forest be? And will Sausage ever find his beloved red ball?
If you love cheerful, adventurous, and meaningful stories, this book is just for you!

I am beyond thrilled to share with you that my very first book has been released today! It is now officially available in eBook format, and I truly hope you will enjoy it as much as I loved writing it!
This book was inspired by the personality and memory of my first little dog, whom I still adore with all my heart. I want his memory to live on forever, to keep it alive, which is why I want to share his story with you—and even write more books about him in the future.
However, it won’t only be available as an eBook! In just a few weeks, you will also have the chance to purchase a printed version—to hold it in your hands, take in that fresh book scent, and admire the stunning illustrations up close. I am currently waiting for the first printed copy to arrive, and as soon as I review it, you, too, can experience the joy of a freshly printed book, as it will be available in the Webshop.
In the meantime, the eBook is already available at a fantastic price—go check it out!
Here’s the blurb from the back of the book to give you a little teaser in Hungarian:
Egy izgalmas és kedves történet Hurkiról, a kis Yorkiról, akinek valaki ellopja a piros labdáját. A tolvaj nyomába eredve felfedezi az erdei állatok csodálatos világát.
Ez a könyv egyszerre gyönyörű, gazdagon illusztrált, szórakoztató, és tele van érdekes, hasznos információkkal, hogy az olvasók egyszerre tölthessék el tartalmasan és élvezettel az idejüket. Hurki, a bátor kis Yorki nem nyugszik, míg meg nem találja kedvenc játékát – de közben olyan állatokkal találkozik, akikről álmodni sem mert volna. Süni, mókus, farkas, bagoly és sokan mások segítik (vagy épp nehezítik) az útját, miközben egy titokzatos tolvaj nyomába ered.
Vajon ki lehet az erdei bajkeverő? És előkerül a piros kis labda?
Ha szereted a vidám, kalandos és tanulságos történeteket, ezt a könyvet neked találták ki!
Valamint itt van néhány bemutató oldal a könyvből, hogy Ti is lássátok mennyire szép grafikát használtam az illusztrációhoz, ezt a könyvet élmény nézni és könnyű, kellemes olvasni, egyszerű és érthető szövegezése miatt. Remélem, Ti is beleszerettek
