LITTLE GF ADVENTURES

Mila & Friends

The friendliest gluten-free adventures for kids 6–12 — in English, German and Italian.

Every story is warm, never scary. We never shame and we never leave anyone out — because each adventure builds a little more confidence and teaches one real gluten-free life-skill.

Meet Mila

Match-day breakfast

There’s a big game today, so Mila and Pip the pigeon are making a match-day pancake stack — the perfect start before kick-off.

Little GF Adventures Episode 1, panel 2, Step 1 Naturally gluten-free: Mila and Leo mix pancake batter from rice flour, eggs, milk and banana while Pip helps.
1 Step one

Naturally gluten-free!

Rice flour, eggs, milk and a ripe banana. Mila’s pancakes start with foods that never had gluten in them in the first place — and Leo learns you can build a whole breakfast that way.

Little GF Adventures Episode 1, panel 3, Step 2 Pip's label check: Pip uses a magnifying glass to read a syrup label while Sofia holds a bowl of strawberries.
2 Step two

Pip’s label check

Toppings can hide gluten! Pip reads every label with his magnifying glass. If it says “may contain wheat”, they simply pick something else — like fresh strawberries.

The end — for now

New adventure next week!

Mila, Pip, Leo and Sofia wave goodbye. Every episode teaches one real gluten-free life-skill — and there’s always another adventure coming.

MEET THE CREW
M

Mila

The GF hero

Curious and brave, Mila leads the way. She has coeliac disease, she plans ahead, and she shows every reader that a gluten-free kid can do absolutely anything.

P

Pip

Narrator & label sleuth

The pigeon sidekick — chef hat on, magnifying glass ready. Pip tells the story and checks every label. If a wrapper is hiding something, Pip will spot it.

L

Leo

The curious classmate

Leo asks the questions kids are really thinking — so nobody ever has to feel shy about not knowing. Every good question makes the whole team smarter.

S

Sofia

The supportive friend

Sofia is the inclusion champion. She makes sure every snack, party and lunch has something for everyone, so no friend is ever left on the sidelines.
