Summary | A woman is translating various children's literature into emojis. Not the whole text is replaced by emojis, only some words or parts of words. The books are supposed to be really great for beginning readers to encourage reading since the texts are made easier to understand by using a range of emojis. Not only the regular emojis available on all smartphones are used but also roughly 600 original emojis created by the author.
