Gunter’s Fables tell the story of how Nature offers solutions to humanity’s challenges. Far more than simple stories, they take us on a bilingual, playful, and interactive educational journey into the heart of nature.

Inspired by the pedagogy of Paulo Freire, Maria Montessori, and Rudolf Steiner, they are designed to awaken the child’s 5 intelligences: scientific knowledge, emotional intelligence, artistic expression, an understanding of complex systems, and the ability to take action.
The collection’s 365 fables are inspired by women and men who have helped make this world a better place. They cover the themes essential to our everyday lives: water, energy, health, food, housing, work, and education & ethics.
Each fable is a guided exploration that encourages reflection and creativity, and strengthens the innate desire to contribute to the good of all.

Written by Gunter Pauli
Gunter Pauli is a world-renowned economist, eco-activist, and entrepreneur. He is committed to a waste-free and pollution-free approach to environmental issues, working toward sustainable development for both human society and nature.
Founder of the Blue Economy model and the ZERI foundation, his philosophy is to “not expect the Earth to create more resources for us, but to make better use of the resources we already have.” Gunter’s Fables are the result of this philosophy.
A father of six, he began writing the fables for his own children.

The fables let me share with my children ideas that aren’t taught anywhere else, through short, lovely stories that fill them with wonder at what nature can do. They also pick up some English along the way, since the fables are written in both languages.
The little science experiments in each fable let us share precious family moments, move from dreaming to doing, and take in the ideas while having fun.
The “Did you know?” and “Think about it…” sections open up rich conversations with children and broaden their knowledge. The short guide for parents and teachers is also a great help for going deeper into science, emotional intelligence, and art. The fables’ inspiration shows children it’s not just a dream: real people and companies have truly put these principles into practice, building a far more virtuous model. You think you’re buying fables, but it’s so much more than that!

For the youngest readers, Gunter’s Fables are a wonderful tool for knowledge, but also for hope and resilience. By explaining the cycles and phenomena that govern our environment, as well as the impact of human activity on nature, Gunter opens up the conversation with no detours.
The great added value of the fables lies in the virtuous initiatives they showcase to reconcile humanity and nature. By drawing on the intelligence of living things, it becomes possible to invent new ways to travel, eat, build, and even clean up pollution.
Let’s use the fables as seeds of hope to spark tomorrow’s vocations and careers, in children as well as in (already) grown-ups. And let’s dream together of a more harmonious society.

Following 20 years in the toy industry (magic in particular), through Gunter’s Fables I’m rediscovering that real magic is in nature. I find it wonderful to inspire both children and parents alike. I’m discovering that nature itself can teach us all the abundance and innovation it has been exploring for millions of years. Thank you!

I found a great gift idea for all my friends with children who don’t want to pile up more meaningless plastic toys. Gunter’s Fables are beautiful books, really useful for children, and kind to the environment.
Children love reading them and recreating the experiments, picturing themselves in the adventures. Plus, you can really build a whole collection that kids look forward to.
For me, it’s the perfect gift!
