My name is Markus Goffin, born in 1965 in Düsseldorf. From an early age, my life was shaped by music and art – from ballet lessons to playing the piano and painting. Creativity has always been an expression of my thoughts and emotions, a way to understand and shape the world around me.
However, my greatest inspiration has been my role as the father of four wonderful children. They grew up in different generations, allowing me to closely observe the developments and challenges of today's world.
The world has changed – especially with the omnipresence of technology. Smartphones and digital media offer countless opportunities, but they also bring challenges. I see how children today struggle with the same big questions in life as before – Who am I? Why do I feel this way? What is happiness? Yet, they increasingly struggle to find answers through open conversations with their parents.
Many parents, often unknowingly, lose close connections with their children. It has become easier to keep them occupied with a screen rather than taking the time for deep conversations. However, children long for understanding, guidance, and loving answers.
This is where the idea for "Der Buuble" was born – a bridge between children and parents that encourages reflection and conversation through playful elements and supportive impulses.
"Der Buuble" is not meant to replace – but to connect.
Children are given the opportunity to explore life's questions in an interactive and creative way. At the same time, parents receive prompts and support to address their children's emotional and developmental topics.
In an era where distractions are often stronger than listening, I want "Der Buuble" to open a door – for more conversations, more understanding, and more shared moments.
Every child deserves to be heard and understood.
In a world full of distractions, parents and children often lack the time for deep conversations. Children have important questions – but parents don't always know how to explain them in a simple and understandable way. This is where the interactive coloring book "Little Buuble Asks Questions" comes in.
This book is more than just a classic coloring book – it is a tool that playfully brings parents and children into conversation. Children are encouraged to stay curious and ask questions. Parents receive easy-to-follow support to explain topics. Communication between parents and children is strengthened, and difficult topics are addressed in a playful way.
Each double-page consists of two parts:
This coloring book makes knowledge tangible, brings families closer together & gives children the opportunity to better understand the world – one question at a time!
