Although based in Cambodia, this story and the pleasure of reading have no borders thanks to the quality of the texts and illustrations.

The presentation format of the story is a Kamishibai one.
A kamishibai is a form of Japanese street theatre. Pages of Kamishibai are placed in a miniature stage-like device, and the reader narrates the story by changing each image. By this technic, the reader has a text in front of him and the people who hear the story only see the picture. This is very convenient for young children who are learning a new language.

All the sentences are written in 4 languages on the same page, the reader can access all and read in the language he wants.

🎁 Recommended from 4 years old.
