Meeting with the creators of Tikulu

HENRY KOOMBES

Interview of Tikulu’s father

“Henry Koombes: I had been thinking about this character for a long time. I had started drawing him and I had even named him before Pascale (the editor of the Tikulu series) contacted me for a book. When I showed Tikulu to Pascale, she loved him and asked me what his name meant.”

GENERATION TIKULU

Jeffrey, 15 years old

“I first came to know Tikulu when I was 8 years old. As I had a soft spot for sharks, my father bought S.O.S. Shark for me. I was dazzled by the illustrations and the story seduced me. In my opinion, Tikulu is an adventurer at heart. I haven’t read the entire collection yet but I think that when it comes to Tikulu, there is no age limit – anybody can lose themselves into one of Tikulu’s adventures!”

LEARNING IS FUN

The air that surrounds us, the soil we tread on, the world we live in: everything is an adventure!
