Big Deal!
In the town of elves, work is in full swing from dawn to dusk – after all, someone has to prepare presents for all the children in the world! But when it comes to wrapping the biggest teddy bear the elves have ever seen, no one knows what to do. Olaf is sure he can handle it himself. What could go wrong? It turns out that... almost everything. And when magic fails, you have to find another way – one that only works when you can trust others and ask them for help.
The educational fairy tale ‘Big Deal!’ is a warm, humorous story about cooperation, responsibility, and the power of teamwork. Accompanying the elves in their Holiday Season adventures, children learn that even the biggest challenges can be overcome when we work together, and that saying: ‘I can do it myself’ is not always a sign of courage.

How does fairy tale therapy work?
Fairy tale therapy
What will you find in this storybook?
‘Big Deal!’ is a fairy tale for children aged 7–9, designed to help them learn how to build relationships with their peers and identify their emotions. The aim of the publication is to show children that they do not always have to do everything on their own and even the most difficult tasks become easier when we work together.
In addition to the fairy tale itself, the publication also contains substantive content for parents and teachers which facilitates work with the text and suggests practical ways to talk to children about how to move from isolation to cooperation.
