Author Information

"Piotr Rokicki was born in Poland at a time when the Soviet Union was crushing half of Europe with its shoe. There was no color television, no cell phones, no internet. He studied Russian at school and the only entertainment was reading a book and arguing. He played football, rugby and practiced shooting. When he was 16 years old and returning from school, the air smelled of tear gas, there were tanks on the streets and army and militia patrols willingly encouraged young people with their clubs to quickly return home. At the age of 20, he became a soldier himself and served in an airborne unit. He skydived and crawled in the mud to be prepared in the event of an attack by ""bad capitalists"" on his ""great"" socialist country. After a few years, everything changed, freedom came to Poland, paid for with the blood of the strikers.New technology appeared: mobile phones, computers and the world opened up. It's like taking someone straight from a small village in Alaska to New York, shock. After many other vicissitudes, fate brought the author through the English Channel to the British Isles, where he lives and works until now. Having so many experiences and experiencing so many changes, Piotr never gave up and was able to find himself in a new reality. It was only possible because of the book. It was thanks to his ability to read and write that he found the right knowledge and support to better understand and accept this crazy world. Understanding the role of this basic skill gave him the impetus to write books that can help the youngest learn the alphabet. Young people may not have to go through so many changes in their lives, but literacy is like a ""START"" command for runners. It's hard to catch up with the others when we start with a delay.
