It was a friendly moment, full of smiles, hugs and photos! The charity members also distributed gifts to the children, who were delighted to receive books from Xilam series.

The Armand-Trousseau Hospital, located in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, welcomes thousands of sick and injured children every year, who are often faced with fear, isolation, and pain.

Karate Sheep launches in Germany on Toggo

Trico is an enthusiastic sheep who loves to share new objects and ideas with the rest of the flock. This causes ruckus in the mountain pastures, which all inevitably end up at Wanda’s expense, a tough ewe whose job is to keep the sheep safe. Not a small feat, especially when Wolf is always lurking, waiting to make the most of this newfound chaos.
