If you have noticed the little character in the red cap beside the Stylenya name and wondered who he is, this is a good place to meet him. His name is Globby. He is our mascot and the main character in Globby and the Secret of Dawn, a fantasy novel by Carlos Hidalgo, titled Globby y el secreto del Alba in Spanish.
Here is a first look at the connection between the character who welcomes you to our store and the world inside his story—with a few early clues, but none of the answers he has to discover.
From Stylenya’s mascot to a story of his own
At Stylenya, we turn photographs, names and ideas into personalized celebration details. Globby is part of that creative identity. His place beside our brand is the connection between the shop and the book.
Inside the novel, he has a life of his own: a workshop, friends, a village he calls home and questions about his past. The story takes place in Villa Lumbre, a fictional village where fixing an object can bring neighbors together and a small clue can change an ordinary morning.
A box that tools cannot fix
Ten-year-old Globby likes finding solutions. He repairs things, sketches inventions and sometimes makes a simple task wonderfully complicated. Yet there is one object in his workshop he has never tried to repair: the box he was found in as a baby.
Mamá Ada has kept that box and the small things inside it: a piece of cloth, a length of rope and a smooth piece of wood. They seem ordinary, but for Globby they hold an enormous question: where did he come from?
His search begins by looking more closely at what has been there all along. Other clues follow: hidden letters, a forgotten house and a visitor who cannot remember his own story. Each discovery brings another question.
His friends are part of the answer
Globby does not follow those clues alone. Lumi observes and takes notes. Bloop finds music even in a problem. Puff brings patience and careful measurements. Mimi pays attention to plants. Each friend notices something the others might miss.
Those differences matter. The adventure challenges Globby’s ideas and his habit of rushing into action. He will have to listen, ask for help and accept that some answers take time. Alongside the humor, inventions and mystery, the story explores care, belonging and the people who help make a home.
Behind the pages
The story and text are by Carlos Hidalgo, with the collaboration of artificial intelligence tools. The illustrations and cover were also created using these tools under his direction, as credited in the book.
