There was a boy who loved painting. But he often forgot to wash his hands and left colourful fingerprints everywhere. On the bathroom door, on the table, on the kitchen wall, in his favourite book — the fingerprints were literally everywhere! The boy’s mum liked his paintings very much, but she did not like the fingerprints. One day, while cleaning the wall again, she had an idea… She sat by her son and asked him to leave a fingerprint on a piece of paper with his finger covered in paint. The boy was in the middle of painting a sky, so he left a blue mark. His mum took a black pen and added eyes, arms, legs and a smile to the fingerprint. Then, the fingerprint received a hat and an umbrella.

“Do you know who it is?”, mum asked.

“It’s Mr. Fingerprint!”, replied the boy, stating the obvious.

“And where did he get the umbrella from?”, mum kept asking.

“He bought it in a store.”

“And where is Mr. Fingerprint going?”

“He’s in a hurry to catch a bus!”

That is how the first Mr. Fingerprint story came about. Since that time, the boy has often left his fingerprints on a sheet of paper and together with his mum, they have come up with the adventures of Mr. Fingerprint. Sometimes, the walls still get dirty, but less so…

The book tells a very captivating story of the hero — Mr. Fingerprint. Mr. Fingerprint cooks his favourite soup, runs an experiment, goes on holiday, celebrates Mr. Handprint’s birthday, goes to the hairdresser’s, travels into space… and has a lot of unforgettable adventures along the way. The beautifully written and illustrated stories from Mr. Fingerprint’s life will make the readers want to know more of him.
