About the book

During our daily run, we sometimes forget to stop and think of what is important. At times, when children are asking their neverending ''WHYs'', we just bluntly tell them, ''I don't know'' or ''When you grow up, you will understand.'' Stop! Read a little! In story books you will find a lot of topics to discuss with children, and things to think over yourself. This book will be a valuable read for both children and adults, as wisdom of life is near by, as long as we live!

Times and generations change, so it's time for the fairy tales to change as well! Enough with believing that all stepmothers are evil, praising poverty as virtue, waiting for a prince on a white horse who will solve all problems, and grant happiness only to the fool. It's time to educate our children and also to believe in current values, possibilities and growth mindset ourselves. Here are 52 modern pieces of wisdom wrapped in 52 funny but at the same time thought provoking stories.

About the authors

“52 Truths” is the second book by Jolanta Jērāne and Kristīne Vilcāne. In the first book ''Money learns to understand money'', the authors created joyful stories for families to help gain the much needed financial knowledge for life. Due to popular demand by the readers, other pieces of important life knowledge have been included in this new book in that same ligth manner.

Both authors are personal growth coaches who believe that each and every person can reach their maximum potential and success. What matters is the inner power and conviction that the ''52 Truths'' will help to discover and grow.

The allegories and fairy tales within this framework are more than just stories—they are field-tested, nationally recognized tools for emotional growth, reflection, and modern coaching. Developed by authors Kristīne Vilcāne and Jolanta Jērāne, the "52 Pakāpieni" methodology received the prestigious national Career Support Award (Karjeras atbalsta balva) from the State Education Development Agency for its outstanding impact on experiential education, and has already been successfully implemented across more than 100 schools. By combining deep metaphorical art with coaching methodologies, it sparks genuine personal transformation.

As we share these highly acclaimed methodologies across borders and present them to international audiences, the book is currently seeking its global voice and has not yet been translated into other languages. We are fully open to collaboration and invite visionary publishers, literary agents, translators, and educational partners to help bring this unique, award-winning transformation tool to new markets. If you see the power in these pages and want to co-create an international impact, let’s explore how we can grow together.
