My daughter asks for Elpro every evening. Since the Bukavu stop, she wants to find every country on the map and asks how children get to school there.

Aminata, mother of two

My son filled three pages drawing Elpro and his dragon. He told me: “Dad, I want to travel and tell stories too.” A story that makes a child want to learn is rare.

Julien

We listen to the podcast on the way to school. My little one repeats Elpro's sentences and asks a thousand questions. The message for grown-ups really moved me.

Sabrina

Our children used to argue over toys. After the story about sharing, they invented their own sharing rule. We did not have to impose anything.

Marc and Élodie

My daughter was born in France and knew little about Africa. Thanks to Elpro she talks about the markets, the fabrics and the grandmothers as if she had been there.

Fatou

I look after my grandson on Wednesdays and Elpro has become our appointment. He falls asleep imagining the next journey, and I rediscover the joy of storytelling.

Nathalie, grandmother

My son reads on his own now. Afterwards he explains the story his own way, with his comments. It has become our most honest conversation of the day.

Ibrahim

My daughter was afraid of the dark. The story where Elpro crosses an unknown night reassured her: she now says she “travels” when she closes her eyes.

Clara

What I like is that there is no moral lecture. The values simply appear, and my son talks about them without even realising it.

Noé's dad

My daughter suggested a theme for the next adventure: children who live by the sea. She waits for each new story like an episode of a series.

Léa

We read together, both children in the same bed. Elpro introduced them to the words “courage” and “solidarity”, which they now use on their own.

Bintou

The podcast is perfect for quiet time. My daughter listens, rests, and when she wakes up she tells me what Elpro saw. We are waiting for the next stories.
