Kicia Kocia is a series of books for children aged 1-3 by Anita Głowińska.

The series stars a small, bright cat and her friends. The titular, resolute cat boldly explores the world. She's accompanied by her understanding guardians – her parents and grandparents. Not to mention her loyal friends: Pacek, Adelka, and Julianek. Together with them, Kicia Kocia also learns the most important principles of everyday life.

The Kicia Kocia series has captured the hearts of little ones! The cat's adventures, adorned with clear illustrations, large shapes, and vibrant colors, are an enjoyable read for children as young as 18 months. Along with the cat, children learn things like cooking, playing instruments, and playing on the playground. But not only that: they go to the doctor, to the swimming pool, meet a police officer and a firefighter. Importantly, they also learn what to do if a storm surprises them outside or a stranger approaches them.

Kicia Kocia: Books for the Youngest Children

This popular children's book series includes square books featuring Kicia Kocia as the main character, simple cardboard stories about Nunuś for toddlers, and books with flaps to reveal hidden surprises. The Kicia Kocia series is education and fun in one!

The thick pages make the books very durable and resistant to sensory exploration, making them perfect for children as young as 18 months. Beautiful illustrations stimulate the sense of sight and encourage looking at the pictures, which also helps spark curiosity and a love of books in the future. Reading combined with fun and enjoyable time is the first step to reading for pleasure.

How can parents support their child's bilingualism in the UK?

Parents have a significant influence on whether their child will speak Polish in the future and whether they will become fully bilingual. It's best to dedicate plenty of time from an early age to active contact with the Polish language – speaking, conversing, reading, playing, and learning in Polish – all of this will have a significant impact on the development of the minority language and on achieving full bilingualism in the future. Creating as many incentives as possible to speak the minority language will bring the desired results.

Tested and tested materials supporting Polish language learning will help you achieve this. The Czyam i mówi po polsku bookstore in the UK offers fantastic materials supporting the learning of Polish as a foreign language. We ship books from our UK warehouse within 24 hours of ordering.
