Our three friends
Three friends.
Three friends.
Three unique strengths.
Each brings something special – and together they make Leos WuselWelt a little more colourful.
WuselMo
WuselMo
Big, cuddly, shaggy and sometimes wonderfully wiggly. The bigger the chaos, the bigger, brighter and fluffier WuselMo becomes. With him, even an ordinary moment can turn into a little adventure – and life is never boring.
Leo
Leo
Curious, full of ideas and bursting with imagination. Leo finds something exciting everywhere and has lots of thoughts in his head. Sometimes it's hard to work out which one matters right now. Luckily, his friends help him find a place to start.
Philo
Philo
Philo sometimes notices what others miss. He senses the quiet things between the lines and helps Leo find a starting point, an idea or a little courage. When Philo thinks particularly hard, his feelers begin to glow – and sometimes a tiny spark of light shows the way forward.

Reading gets easier.

So much more to discover.

step by step.
Made with AI.
Imagined by me.
A look behind the pictures
For the illustrations in Leos WuselWelt, I work with artificial intelligence. The ideas, characters and stories are mine. I create each picture, develop it further and carefully check what ends up in WuselWelt.
And if a little AI mistake slips through? It simply becomes a Wusel mistake hunt. Along the way, children playfully learn that AI results deserve a really close look too.
