Welcome to Laken Universe

This year, Laken Junior has presented a fabulous collection of characters and stories, created by the amazing illustrator Txema Sanz. Here you have some of their adventures, to feed the imagination of younger and older ones.

But I'm sure you can think of many more. Share them with us!

Bambinos

Since she was very young, Pompon has had a lot of little winged friends who take care of her. They are magical creatures from the forest, coming from different countries and cultures, who accompany her in all her adventures, tell her fantastic stories, play with her, rock her to sleep... And, sometimes, also play tricks on her!

Once, for example, all her winged friends and Bombon, the bunny, hid in the forest for a long time. Pompon thought they were playing a bad joke on her, but in the end it turned out that they were preparing a surprise birthday party for her, so Pompon learned one of the great secrets of friendship: Don't think badly of your real friends. If you think right, most of the time you'll get it right.

Astro Baby

Just like every night, Alex went to bed early. It had been a day full of games and adventures, and even before his dad finished the story he was telling him, he was asleep.
After a while, the boy opened his eyes and found himself navigating the space in a space rocket! HE wasn’t Alex anymore, he was Astro Baby.

Whoa, whoa, it all happens so fast out here. One little Martian says hello from a ship, another comes out from a nearby planet... And that, is it Saturn, is it a pacifier, is it a giant pacifier from Saturn?
When the night fills with fantastic dreams, no one can rest in his cradle!

Space Oddity

Tired of spinning around and around in space, Alex has decided to make a stop and stretch his legs. He did it on a beautiful white star, where two Martians he had crossed earlier on his way have stopped by too.

From the place where they are, they have fabulous views of space: shooting stars, some galaxies, planets to discover... Alex does not know if he is dreaming or if his dream of being an astronaut has come true, perhaps this magical night is just a small foretaste of what future holds for him!

Kosmos

Why can't we travel to space, said one day, all at once, the inhabitants of the farm, the forest, the jungle, the river, the ocean and even the sky? And they were right, why not?

So they put on their astronaut scubas, got on a rocket, and there they went to surf the outer space.

Now, on clear nights, if you look out the window you can see them floating, happy and funny, among the thousands of stars and planets of the Kosmos they are discovering. Remember, you can also get wherever you want!

Eguzkitan

When his mother told Lorenzo not to go out to the garden, because they had a visitor, he could not imagine that a fierce dragon had landed in the middle of his grandmother's flowers and was throwing fire in all directions. Between worried and angry, his parents were trying to capture him with a net to take him to the nearest dragon chamber. Lorenzo remembered all those times that he had cried because he was afraid, and thought that maybe the dragon was just scared.

Then he began to talk to him calmly, assuring him that nothing would happen and that they didn't want to hurt him. After a while, the two of them were lying peacefully in the sun, enjoying the warmth of an improvised summer!

Welcome to the family, Eguzkitan.
