TAMITOS: Príbeh porozumenia is a Christmas gift idea for families who enjoy reading together and talking about feelings. Book 1 is already published. Book 2, Príbeh výnimočnosti, is available to pre-order. Both links lead to Slovak-language editions, and Book 2's Christmas delivery must be checked before ordering.
A book under the tree can become more than something to unwrap. It can be the story you return to after a busy day or the quiet activity you share on a winter afternoon. For Slovak-speaking families abroad, reading together can also create a familiar moment in the language of home.
Who is a TAMITOS book gift for?
Príbeh porozumenia, meaning A Story of Understanding, introduces the world of sisters Ela and Lumi and their friends. It is aimed broadly at children aged 4 to 11. Your child's interests and whether you will read together matter as much as the age range.
Choose it for the story and the conversations you would like to share, rather than because a child has a particular diagnosis. Feelings and differences are part of every family's life. See the illustrations and background on the TAMITOS books page.
How can you enjoy Book 1 together?
Start with a few pages rather than a target to finish the whole book. Let your child linger over an illustration. You might ask what they notice, how a character could be feeling, or what might help that character.
There is no need to turn reading into a test. Your child might point at a picture, share a thought, ask you to read the same page again or simply listen. Follow the part they enjoy. You can explore the background in the story of TAMITOS Book 1.
Can you choose both TAMITOS books?
You can buy the published first book and explore the second book's pre-order separately. Príbeh výnimočnosti, meaning A Tale of Uniqueness, continues the themes of differences and individuality.
As checked on 11 October 2026, the signed Slovak-language second book is available to pre-order until 20 November 2026. It ships after printing. A pre-order is not confirmation that a copy will arrive before Christmas.
Check the latest availability, delivery estimate and shipping arrangements if you want both books for a particular date. This article does not promise a combined bundle or a discount. Those would need to appear explicitly in the shop.
Explore the signed Book 2 pre-order.
What makes the gift personal?
Add a note saying, “Let's read this together.” Choose a comfortable place and a first reading time. If your child prefers to know what is coming, you can tell them about the book before Christmas. A gift can still feel special without being a surprise.
You might make a bookmark or draw a favourite character together. Let your child choose the page you return to. Meet more of the world on the TAMITOS characters page.
